Monitoring London's Wildlife
There are many great reasons to join the London Natural History Society (LNHS).
Membership fees allow us to continue to monitor and record wildlife across London, ensuring decision and policy makers have the information that they need to ensure London's natural history is protected.
This includes supporting the three taxonomic sections of the Society: Botany Section, Ecology & Entomology Section and London Bird Club Section.
Previous project have included the Hampstead Heath Millenial Flora Project and the London Bird Atlas, and the recently published 'Butterflies of London'. We are currently working on 2 projects transcribing historic bird records and the London Flora Project.
Membership Benefits
Members of the Society are invited to all of our field events, indoor meetings and virtual talks, as well as taking part in our ecological survey work through our projects, the Hampstead Heath Survey and the Bookham Common Survey.
Members also receive a quarterly newsletter (digital or paper) and our annual journals: The London Naturalist and London Bird Report. The digital newsletter reduces our environmental impact and postal costs, and new members receive the digital newsletter by default.
