The Nature Blog Network is the nexus for the nature blog community, the portal through which readers and publishers alike can locate the very best nature blogs on the net. To serve the nature blog community, we’ve put together a site with two distinct parts:
THE TOPLIST
A toplist is a list of websites ranked according to a metric like pageviews. Successful toplists help connect interested readers to the sites they most enjoy. The Nature Blog Network list presents over 950 of the world’s best blogs on birds, bugs, plants, herps, hiking, oceans, ecosystems, and every other natural topic. Adding your blog to this spectacular toplist is the perfect way to reach new readers interested in exactly what you have to offer, and to see where your site falls amongst your respected peers. And it’s FREE!
This toplist is open to all BLOGS focused on the discussion of nature in its myriad forms. Learn more about the Nature Blog Network on our Join page.

THE TEAM
Four prominent (some might say notorious) nature bloggers deliver the daily dish on blogging, news, and what’s happening in the nature blog community:
Mike Bergin is the creator of the Nature Blog Network as well as the founder of 10,000 Birds and I and the Bird. Mike, who’s based out of Rochester, NY, is a leading authority in the field of standardized test preparation but his true passions are nature and travel… oh, and his wife Sara, son Mason, and daughter Ivy!
The Renaissance woman known as Wren can usually be found at Wrenaissance Reflections. Being a nature lover and tree hugger, Wren has a wide variety of interests, the natural result of a lively and inquiring mind. She is not afflicted with the hobgoblin of foolish consistency.
Nathan Swick (N8) is originally from Missouri but now lives in Chapel Hill, NC with his wife, Danielle and young son, Noah. When not birding, he works to bring science to North Carolina’s students at the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science in Durham, NC, and enjoys disc golf, good beer, and UNC basketball. He blogs about birds and birding full-time at The Drinking Bird.
Seabrooke Leckie is a naturalist, writer and illustrator living in eastern Ontario, Canada. Her rural home offers her much creative inspiration and fodder for her blog, The Marvelous in Nature. She has a soft spot for birds and moths, but is liable to just as easily be distracted by bugs, flowers or fungus while out hiking. Currently, her primary project is co-authoring a new Peterson Field Guide to the moths of the northeast, due out spring 2012.
