THIS GROUP IS NOW TAKING NEW MEMBERS
The group welcomes those who are new to natural history as well as members with prior interests in plant and animal life.
We are very practical in outlook, sharing knowledge and learning from one another. As well as our indoor meetings, sometimes with invited speakers, we have monthly field trips, and study groups.
The study groups focus on one area over the seasons, allowing people to increase their knowledge in the field. This year (2026) the study group meets at Poolbrook Common. Our intention is to keep this on until the end of 2026.
Current interests include plant life, birds, insects, fungi and the relationships between species and habitats. If you have an interest, join us to share it. If not, come to learn from others.
