This is achieved by holding monthly meetings, workshops and field trips; promoting the protection of the natural environment; exchanging information; and producing educational material. Connections with similar organisations across Australia are maintained through membership of the Australian Naturalists Network and the South East Australian Naturalist Association. The Club has been a strong advocate for conservation measured, including the preservation of the Bendigo Whipstick and protection against illegal collection of wildflowers. Other programs have included placing and maintaining nest boxes throughout bushland parks and reserves to support populations of the Brush-tailed phascogale and sugar glider. The Club's newsletter, The Bendigo naturalist, was first produced in 1945, and was revived between 1967 and 1976. Whirrakee, the Club's current, monthly newsletter, was first issued in 1980. The Club has also published guides to the fauna and flora of the district.
