Field meetings.

 
From spring to autumn, there are field meetings at every level from beginners to advanced. In 2019, by day, we saw seals at Ravenscar, and gannets and puffins at Bempton. By night... more. 
 

Talks. 

Throughout the winter we have amazing talks given by experts from the Club and beyond. Some focus on species we all think we know, like sparrows and beavers... more. 

Workshops. 

Each year the Club organizes displays and workshops, some for beginners, some more advanced, some for kids, some for adults... more.
Help needed! 
The Club needs volunteers for the following jobs: 

● Press & Publicity Officer - mainly informing the local paper about forthcoming Club events; 
● Recorder for Microbes & Protists - you don't need previous experience, you'll have help getting started and it's an opportunity to learn! 

Full support and training will be given for all of these posts. If you are able to help with any of these, please contact the Club's Chairman.
