The Yoredale Natural History Society
The Society was founded in 1979, with the aim of 'promoting an interest in and an appreciation of natural history, with particular reference to Wensleydale'.
Yoredale is the old name for Wensleydale.
There is a programme of winter lectures in the Methodist Hall, Leyburn, usually on the last Friday of the month.
Members abilities range from beginner to full time working wildlife professional. Help and guidance is available for those wishing to learn more about most aspects of wildlife.
During the summer months there are about 15 field meetings to local nature "hotspots" and visits to nature reserves.
New members are welcome. To join the Society, or for more information, please contact one of the officers below.The annual subscription is £8 (students £2; under 16s 50p) and is due on 1 January.
Please note to help comply with Child Protection legislation any person under 16 attending any of our meetings must be accompanied by a parent or an adult approved by a parent.
The Society publishes a Bulletin in February each year, to report on our activities of the previous year.
