The Southampton Natural History Society (SNHS) has been established for many years and is concerned with all aspects of natural history within and around Southampton. The society holds regular field and indoor meetings and produces newsletters and an annual report which details the exciting flora and fauna of this region.Join in our Butterfly Survey
From now until early May 2012 we are conducting a survey of butterflies found in the Southampton area, and we need your help!It's very easy to get involved. All you need to do is download the butterfly recording sheet and fill it in as directed.
If you would like to learn more about butterflies and how to record them we will be having a training session on May 10th. Brian Fletcher from Butterfly Conservation Hampshire will be explaining how to identify the butterflies you are most likely to see.
