Meetings and Excursions

Non-members are welcome to attend General Meetings and field excursions.

Our General Meetings include a guest speaker who presents an illustrated talk on a topic of their particular interest or expertise. Members also contribute and discuss their recent observations of nature.

General Meetings are held at the University's Sandy Bay Campus in the Law Building Seminar Room (Room 132) located off Grosvenor Crescent near the University sports grounds. Being held after university open hours, meetings use the back entrance to the building, located off the laneway on the northern side of the building. General Meetings are usually held at 7:30 PM on the first Thursday of the month and access is available from 7:15 PM.

Here is a map of the venue and instructions for access

Wearing of masks is optional. If you want to wear a mask, please bring your own. If you are unwell, or have flu-like symptoms, please stay at home. We follow the Tasmanian Government's latest safety guidelines for Coronavirus.

Field excursions are usually held on the weekend following a General Meeting. These are generally to a site in Southern Tasmania and are often related to a topic of the previous General Meeting's presentation. TFNC excursion guidelines, including the use of car sharing, are available from https://tasfieldnats.org.au/data/documents/2020-TFNC-Excursion-Guidelines-final.pdf .

A Little Bit about Us

Our members are both professionals and amateur naturalists who share a common interest in the natural world. We encourage the study of all aspects of natural history and advocate the conservation of our natural heritage.

The club was formed in 1904 and we are associated with other Field Naturalist clubs throughout Tasmania and beyond.

As well as monthly meetings and excursions, our quarterly information bulletin covers our activities and provides information that may be useful to members. We produce a respected journal, The Tasmanian Naturalist, which is released annually. We publish books about our natural heritage, and you can discover more about them here https://www.tasfieldnats.org.au/bookshop/ .

New members are always welcome. If you are interested in becoming a member, please use this link https://www.tasfieldnats.org.au/membership/ .
