The NBELS creates working groups in order to study the current state of environmental law as well as law reform initiatives in New Brunswick. Leading members of the NBELS participate in panel discussions and attend conferences and the Society offers its own continuing education program for members via workshops and publications. The Society also speaks up on important environmental issues affecting New Brunswickers. And, since fighting for the environment implies a deep appreciation of nature, the NBELS also organizes nature excursions and other outings for its members. Advocacy  Since its inception in 2007, the NBELS has been outspoken on a number of environmental issues via the media and other forums. We often work in collaboration with other citizens' groups and environmental orgaizations to focus attention on important matters. Conferences  The NBELS periodically organizes conferences and workshops for its members and the general public. In 2007 we hosted the Sustainable Development Law Conference at Université de Moncton with the participation of Justice Michel Bastarache of the Supreme Court of Canada. More recently the NBELS toured the province with its environmental investigations workshop.
Support for students  Every year the NBELS supports law students by offering its Environmental Law Clinic Program. Founded in 2007, the clinic provides students with theoretical and practical educational experiences. The NBELS also offers scholarships to dedicated students.
 Nature outings are organized for every season and are held all over New Brunswick.
