Membership
Apply for membership
We welcome you to join NKF-N!
NKF-N has four membership categories: Ordinary membership, associate membership, student membership and senior membership.
Ordinary membership may be acquired by anyone who has completed a conservation education, i.e. bachelor's degree, master's degree or equivalent (3 or 4 years) at an approved institution, including Conservation Science, and in addition one working year (230 working days, 1750 hours) of subsequent conservation professional experience after graduation. Approved conservation professional experience must be certified by either a member of NKF-N at the workplace, by the immediate superior, or clients who can confirm the applicant's duties and responsibilities. Applicants with professional experience in conservation after completing their education from abroad must document this in the same way.
Association, student and senior membership is open to anyone interested in being part of the conservation community. NKF-N wants to be inclusive, and everyone is welcome as a member!
Member benefits:
- All members are sent the Nordic member magazine Notifications of Conservation (MoK). The Norwegian journal Norske Konserves is open for everyone to read on the website.
- All members are invited to annual meetings, winter meetings and member meetings. These meetings are both an important social meeting place and a source of professional input. Annual meetings and winter meetings are held in Oslo, while other meetings are arranged by the regional teams.
