1: NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
1.1: The U.S.A.
1.1.1: The AANR is the premier organization of American
nudist resorts and facilitates lobbying and education
efforts, while TNS serves as a publishing organization
emphasizing fair use of beaches and other public lands.
There are hundreds of local clubs, camps, and resorts too
numerous to list here.

1.1.2: The Naturist Society represents many of the "free
beachers" and grew out of that phase of the
nudist/naturist movement in America. The Naturist Action
Committee, in conjunction with TNS, works with officials
to increase public acceptance and opportunities for
clothing-optional recreation.

1.2: Canada
Many Canadian clubs are AANR clubs. However, Canada has
two national movements (one English, one French) and is
the only country in the world to have two INF
(International Naturist Federation) member groups because
of this.
