The Society was formed in 1973 and has developed into one of the county's leading natural history groups. From the start its aims have been to encourage an interest in the natural environment and show the benefits and importance of that environment. 

The Society has published two books and details of these can be found on the Publications  page. Field meetings are arranged throughout the year and these cover most aspects of natural history, including birdwatching, flora, fossils, insects and other wildlife. From September to April, the Society meets at 7.45pm on the last Thursday of each month at the Marine Hotel, Tankerton.
