Welcome to the website of the Lymington and District Naturalists' Society. Here you can see our indoor and outdoor programmes plus reports of our field trips which take place predominantly in the beautiful New Forest and along the adjacent coastline.

Field meetings take place throughout the year - see Field Meetings link on the left for locations and times. Indoor meetings take place during the winter months at Lymington Community Centre - see Indoor Meetings link for the programme.

The society was founded in 1946 when a group of people from the Lymington area put forward a plan to establish a bird sanctuary on the marshes between the Old Rifle Butts on the sea wall and Hurst shingle bank.

The aim of the society is to promote the knowledge and understanding of natural history and allied matters by arranging lectures and field meetings.

Annual membership is just £15 but visitors are welcome to both walks and talks for a contribution each time of £5 (indoors) or £3 (outdoors).
