The group aims to encourage curiosity and learning about nature, and endeavours to cater for a broad range of interests including fauna, flora, geology and environmental issues. We also provide opportunities to meet with others who have similar interests.
The following benefits are available to our members:
- Monthly meetings involving a short talk by an interesting speaker, discussion of exhibits brought in by members and a chance to socialise over a light supper after the meeting (Non-members welcome to attend)
- Monthly excursions to a wide variety of places
- Camps at both Easter and “Christmas” (November or December)
- Members receive our monthly newsletter "The Junior Naturalist"
- Introduction to other FNCV special interest groups by way of speakers and invitations to various events
