Important
The listing of a National Recording Scheme website on this page does not imply that you should submit records directly to the national system.

The websites, blogs and news groups are listed for the information available there, it is never because records can be submitted using that site. Information about record submission is given on the Wildlife & Recording pages of this site.
BNHS Sections
A Section, to cater for a specific area of study, may be established by the Society's Council. Sections which have been formally constituted as part of the Society are shown below.

Bedfordshire Bird Club
The Bedfordshire Bird Club was founded in 1992 by birdwatchers, and is the ornithological section of the BNHS. It records and documents the avifauna within the county and provides a forum for local birdwatchers.

BNHS Affiliated Groups
The following groups are affiliated to the BNHS and focus upon particular species, species groups or geology.

Much valuable research work is done by individuals and groups to record the distribution of various species, and also changing and vulnerable habitats around Bedfordshire. Results may be published, or used to develop management strategies in association with conservation bodies such as the Wildlife Trust.

New members are always welcome either to join in our meetings and visits, or to help our work. No experience is needed - you'll soon acquire it!
