In order to capitalize on the popularity of the already established Locavore Banquet and EnviroFair, NatureFest was established in 2011.  As you may have guessed, the name comes from the Town motto, “It’s Our Nature”.  This festival is an annual celebration of nature and appreciation of the environment, all in an environmentally friendly manner.  Organizations and individuals alike are holding workshops, presentations, exhibits, etc. that tie in with this theme. 

The inaugural NaureFest in 2011 had the following activities:

Homeopathic First Aid Prescribing 
3rd Annual Locavore Banquet
Naturefestival of Writing 
Hampton Market closing day for the season
Tai Chi demonstration
Zelda’s River Adventures mini-tours
The Barn in Bloomfield Adult Workshop
Horse Show
Pony Rides
Photo Competition
6^th Annual EnviroFair
Coffee House 
Shoreline Clean-Up
Yoga for all levels
Everything  you wanted to know about Turkey Vultures but didn’t know who to ask

2012 NatureFest is being held Thursday September 20th to Sunday September 23rd.  Contact Mr. Laurie Mills at lhmills@nbnet.nb.ca to join the committee, or to suggest an activity that you would like to host!
