The NBHS provides educational outreach, with programs and exhibits for schools, nature centers, and related animal, humane, and environmental education events and organizations. Members of the society also accept herps needing homes and find suitable placements for them. While the general meetings are open and free to the public, the society is funded solely by memberships and donations.
Members receive a quarterly newsletter and annual membership directory.
They also benefit from discounts at certain pet stores. The NBHS bookstore carries a growing inventory of books and other things of interest for herpers at discount prices. For additional membership information, contact Jennifer Foreman or fill out and print out the membership application form . The North Bay Herpetological Society is run by a board of directors elected by the membership. The Board may appoint committee chairs as needed.
