The Australian Naturalists' Network(ANN) is a association of Field Naturalists Clubs and other natural history groups from around Australia. Its origins can be traced to 1987 when the Geelong Field Naturalists Club (GFNC)was looking for a way to raise its profile in the local area. From this grew the idea of an Australia-wide network of such clubs and societies. Dick Southcombe, a member of the GFNC, compiled a register of natural history groups: this compilation is credited with being instrumental in establishment of ANN. The first meeting of the ANN interim council was held in 2013. The purposes of ANN include to: increase knowledge of, and encourage the preservation and protection of the natural environment; foster and promote communication and cooperation between naturalists' clubs and other natural history groups; hold biennial get-togethers; support and promote conservation issues; and be acknowledged as a responsible apolitical voice on environmental matters.
