Updated: November 2018

Abingdon Naturalists' Society was set up in 1967 by wildlife lovers, to give an opportunity to learn about the natural world around us, promote conservation, and - just as important - to get out and see it in the company of experts and friends. Butterflies, bats, fowl, flora, fungi ... all on the agenda.

Not sure whether to join? Then why not come along to one of our indoor meetings or field outings to help you decide?
