The Australian environment is so rich and diverse, it is often hard to know where to turn to learn more.

There is a lot on TV, but it is not the same as experiencing it for yourself.  So why not go to the folks with first hand knowledge  -  Gippsland’s local naturalists.

Bairnsdale and District Field Naturalists Club Inc. encourage conservation and enjoyment of, and education about, Australia’s natural ecosystems, especially in wonderful East Gippsland.

Members include some of the local area's most experienced naturalists on trees, birds, wildflowers, frogs, mammals and the environment.

All members are willing to share their knowledge with new members and their families.

What we offer
 As a group we organize a wide variety of activities in the local area including:

  • Monthly Excursions
  • Monthly Meetings with a wide range of Guest Speakers
  • Regular Newsletters
  • Bush-walks
  • Camp-outs
  • Participation in various flora and fauna surveys

Join in and learn more about our unique natural environment.
Visitors, families and new members are always welcome.
