| The Society was
formed in 1858 and is the major body for the recording of the flora
and fauna of the London area within a 20 miles radius of Saint Paul's
Cathedral. To this end and for the
education and entertainment of its 1100 members, a comprehensive
programme of indoor and outdoor meetings is held throughout the
year. This includes coach trips to locations outside the Society's
area.
The Society publishes two
journals annually, the London Bird Report, which is devoted entirely
to Ornithology, and the London Naturalist dealing with all facets of
natural history. In addition, books such as atlases of breeding birds,
butterflies and moths, are published. A survey of Buckingham Palace
Gardens has been completed and the second volume of the findings is
due for publication later this year. A bi-monthly Newsletter and
Ornithological Bulletin is sent to all members.
The Society maintains an
extensive library, which is housed at Imperial College and is freely
available to students and Society members. |
