Every year since 1999 a group of members have carried out a natural history survey of some site near to Ledbury, visiting once a month from March to October. We record all the plants, trees, fungi, birds, dormice, invertebrates and any other interesting things we find. The results are published in a report which is distributed to members and local libraries and the Herefordshire Biological Records Centre (HBRC) so contributing to our knowledge of the county’s natural history.

We have surveyed many varying sites including woodland and reclaimed farmland, ancient estates and areas of the Malvern hills. We hope to continue doing this and any interested member is welcome to join in and learn from the experts. The more eyes and ears we have, the better.
