Summary

The Tasmanian Field Naturalists Club was established in 1904. Membership is open to anyone interested in natural history, including professionals. The Club encourages the study of all aspects of natural history and advocates for the conservation of our natural heritage. Meetings are held monthly, as are excursions. Reports of these activities are included in the quarterly Bulletin, first published in 1937. The Tasmanian naturalist was started by the Club in 1907: since 1965 it has been issued annually.
