The Newfoundland and Labrador Environment Network (NLEN) is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation whose purpose is to carry out environmental education with the following objective:
to educate members of the public (including members of environmental and other non-profit organizations, students, policy makers, educators, professionals and the general public) through topics such as climate change, protected areas, biodiversity, sustainable forestry, sustainable fisheries, waste management, water conservation, pesticide use and sustainable development.
We do this through a number of activities including:
Public Forums, Workshops & Events: The NLEN organizes public forums, workshops and events, usually in partnership with other organizations, to raise public awareness and education on environmental issues in our province. Educational materials: We work with our member groups to create education materials about environmental work in Newfoundland and Labrador. Participating in decisions that affect our environment: We respond to government calls for submissions on policy and legislation, and participate in multi-stakeholder consultations and initiatives. Working with our member groups to support their work through capacity building workshops, network facilitation, media support, and promotion.
