Clubs and Organizations (125KB), Courier-News, a very comprehensive list
of Clubs and non-profit groups serving a large are of New Jersey.
Somerset Naturalists is listed under ENVIRONMENT, NATURE. Suggest
you use this list to find the kind of clubs you want then use next item for more current information.
- Courier News Online - Central Jersey Living (241KB, includes 190KB ads/overhead) is the index where you can start
to look for clubs -- it is quite inferior to the usability of the plain listing in the
previous item, a bit more current. Somerset Naturalists is listed under “Clubs and Organizations: EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT AND NATURE” which does not have a permanent location (another 165KB)
- Somerset County Library Monthly Calendar includes clubs that meet at the Bridgewater Library.
- Somerset County Library lists Clubs in their book catalog loosely identified as "Community Info" but it is seriously disorganized.
Search on "Somerset Naturalists" as a book Title meaning it really only
works if you know the name of the club. [try this as a direct link].

Links - Searching SCLS Community Information
Searching the Somerset County Library System for Communitiy Information is very frustrating.
Despite filing yearly updates, the information is badly out of date. Somerset Naturalists has incorrect meeting place,
Somerset Photography Club is missing (meetings at the library since the library began at current location), Hunterdon Camera Club not longer exists.
