Field Meetings

All are welcome to our field meetings, which give opportunities to pursue specific interests and learn about biodiversity in different habitats and the relationships between species involved. Field meetings are free to members. Non-members are welcome on payment of a day membership fee of £3 per person.

Reports of past excursions can be found on this website (under Trip Reports).

Please note the following precautions: stout footwear and suitable outdoor clothing should always be worn. Bring plenty of food and drink, with sun blocker and insect repellent when relevant. Members take part entirely at their own risk and are responsible for their personal safety and the security of their personal belongings.

Of course the weather can never be guaranteed, so some events may have to be altered slightly to work around any inclement precipitations! Also note that return times are approximate only.
