Virtual Talks
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.

We are looking for an LNHS treasurer
We are looking for someone to take on the role of Treasurer from Mike West who is stepping down after 33 years. The book-keeping side of the financial administration is relatively simple because the LNHS is a small volunteer-led society. Typically, there are around 60 entries for the entire year, maintained on a simple Excel sheet with around a dozen columns. The role would benefit from someone with the confidence to participate in discussions at LNHS Council.
