Welcome to our Website
We are a group of individuals who share a common interest in the natural world generally and in the natural history of the Barnsley area in particular. This website is mostly concerned with local matters but the links page will take you to other websites of a regional and national coverage, and to specialist nature organisations.
Our broad aims are the study of Natural Science, and the gathering and sharing of knowledge, information and images on all aspects of Natural Science. There is also a social dimension to our endeavours.
Our Society was founded in 1867 and is the longest-running voluntary group in Barnsley. Like all similar groups we have cycles of growth, stagnation and decline.
Our membership is increasing gradually at present.
The Society is an affiliated member of the Yorkshire Naturalists Union and the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and through them is linked to the wider network of UK Naturalist Societies.
Visitors are always welcome to our meetings - admission is free. If you eventually decide to join us the adult subscription is £10 per annum.
