More than 50 HNHS members  attended a reception at North Hertfordshire Museum in Hitchin on 12 January to view our 'Wildlife for the Record' exhibition and round off the Society's 150th anniversary year.

We were delighted to welcome the High Sheriff of Hertfordshire Nicholas Buxton, his wife Henrietta, and the Chair of North Hertfordshire District Council Cllr. Keith Hoskins as special guests. Mr Buxton who farms the Easnye estate near Ware, has made 'nurture through nature' the theme of his current year in office.

A Happy New Year to all our members and friends!

Hertfordshire Natural History Society held its first meeting in January 1875, which means that our 150th anniversary celebrations are sadly almost at an end.

Don't, however, miss the opportunity to visit our closing exhibition in North Hertfordshire Museum which runs until February 16th (Brand Street, Hitchin, SG5 1JE, not Mondays). 

We are near the end of the Society's 150th anniversary year, but exiting in style with an exhibition at North Hertfordshire Museum (Broad Street, Hitchin SG5 1JE) from 16 December to 15 February.
'Wildlife – for the record'  focuses on habitats, flora and fauna that are special to the north of our county, including chalk grassland, streams, and species such as White Helleborine orchids and Chalkhill Blue butterflies.
