The LNHS Library, located in the Angela Marmont Centre, Natural History Museum is open every Wednesday. Please see the Library page for more information.
We have a full programme of activities, both in person field meetings and virtual talks. Please check the calendar and our downloadable programme for full details. Please note that these events may be cancelled at short notice.
The LNHS Virtual Natural History Talk series brings together naturalists with experts and specialists using the Zoom videoconferencing tool.
Our talks are hosted fortnightly and are free to attend (though booking is required).
The talks cover a wide range of subjects, from birds to bats, worms to weeds, fungi to foxes and everything inbetween.
Talks are around 30-40 minutes in length and are followed by a live Q&A between the guest speaker and audience.
