We promote the study and recording of wildlife in Hertfordshire and encourage a wider interest in natural history including the conservation of wildlife, habitats and geological features.
Our members share an interest in nature and observing and studying wildlife. We get real value from your observations by co-ordinating and compiling everyone’s records to build up a comprehensive picture of the state of wildlife in the county. This helps us understand how it is changing over time in response to the pressures of modern life and climate change.
Do you have a photograph which could be used for the Society's Christmas cards next year? Sale of cards helps to raise funds and keep costs down for members. If you have any suitable shots, please send them by email to .
Photos of Hertfordshire wildlife can be found in the photo galleries here and in the Flora group and Bird Club websites.
We have been studying and documenting the natural history of our county for over 130 years. We endeavour to cover all branches of natural history relevant to Hertfordshire.
We have also published books on specific subjects, including Hertfordshire Geology and Landscape,
Flora of Hertfordshire, Moths of Hertfordshire, Dragonflies and Damselflies of Hertfordshire,
Mammals, Amphibians and Reptiles of Hertfordshire and Breeding Birds of Hertfordshire.
We have specialist groups that focus on birds, moths and flora and close links with other local groups such as Butterfly Conservation.
Membership is open to anyone, whether or not you live in the county.
The Society depends on voluntary donations and annual subscriptions from members all of which are devoted entirely to carrying out our work, as all officers are honorary.
The success of the HNHS and Herts Bird Club websites depends on the skills and dedication of many people, for which we are very grateful; we should particularly like to acknowledge the excellent work of the photographers.
