2. Become a member of The Naturist Society by way of the Body Freedom Collaborative

While the BFC is not a naturist or nudist organization, it has chosen to be associated with The Naturist Network of the Naturist Society (TNS) because of the common interest in advocating the nude use of public lands.

The mission of The Naturist Society is to promote a culture of body acceptance through clothing-optional recreation, using the tools of education and community outreach.

The Naturist Society celebrates the nude human form as inherently wholesome and natural; TNS promotes attitudes of tolerance and respect toward the body, and rejects the exploitation of the body for commercial or sexual purposes.

Nude & Natural (N) magazine is published quarterly by The Naturist Society, founded in 1980 by Lee Baxandall and mandated to be "an educational organization established out of the resources of the free beaches movement to promote clothes-optional lifestyles and recreational and living sites."

Starting out as Clothed with the Sun (1980-1989), and evolving into the magazine you see today, Nude & Natural is the leading publication on naturism in the United States and the authority on socially responsible and adventurous social nudity.

Consider joining The Naturist Society and subscribing to Nude & Natural magazine through the BFC (see form at right). For more information about The Naturist Society, visit their web site at naturistsociety.com
