NHSN Events

Founded in 1829, the Natural History Society of Northumbria (NHSN) is one of the oldest natural history societies in the world.  Today, we are a registered charity (no. 1204306) that aims to encourage the study and exploration of the natural world in North East England.

Each year, NHSN volunteers lead field trips and events across North East England, providing opportunities to experience, enjoy and observe wildlife.
