Our Mission: To encourage and facilitate networking and communication among member groups in order to advance their work, to protect the Earth, to promote ecologically sound ways of life and to strengthen the environmental movement in New Brunswick.
The New Brunswick Environmental Network (NBEN), established in 1991, is a communication network that links together over 70 non-profit environmental organizations.
The role of the NBEN is to improve communication and co-operation among environmental groups and between these groups, government and industry. The NBEN provides educational opportunities for its member and associate groups and encourages the growth of the environmental movement in New Brunswick. The NBEN is not an advocacy group and does not take positions on any issue.
The NBEN is governed by a Steering Committee that is elected by member groups, at the annual general meeting. The Steering Committee consists of eight representatives. Two representatives are chosen from each of the following groups: Youth, First Nations, Francophone and Anglophone.
The NBEN is affiliated with the Canadian Environmental Network (CEN), a nationwide umbrella organization of environmental groups across Canada. Through membership in the NBEN, environmental groups are linked with services and other environmental activists nationwide.
