British Naturalists' Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British Naturalists' Association is one of the country's oldest natural history organisations, founded in 1905.
It is the only national body that promotes the study of all branches of natural history. Nationally, the Association organises study days, field weeks and weekends, lectures and exhibitions. At branch level there are talks and exploratory wildlife walks where newcomers can learn and where experienced naturalists share their expertise. The Association publishes the magazine Country-Side.
The association helps by organizing information, publishing literature on natural history and also helps out many publications and magazines from all over the world.
There magazine is called "country-side" members receive this magazine twice a year and you can also get it at the library. Their second magazine called "British Naturalist" is only for members.
The BNA's Peter Scott Memorial Award was instituted after the death of Scott, a long-time BNA Vice-President, to commemorate his achievements.
As of 2005, the BNA's president is David Bellamy.
