SHERIFF HUTTON FIELD NATURE GROUP

SHERIFF HUTTON NATURE GROUP

The Sheriff Hutton Nature Group reformed from the Field Naturalists Group post COVID. We are open to anyone with an interest in nature and have approximately 40-50 members from Sheriff Hutton and local villages, North York and up to Easingwold and Malton areas. We also have many non-members attending activities and participating in our Facebook chat. In addition to being a friendly group meeting regularly to learn about nature, we also engage with the local community, local groups, and with local bodies eg Howardian Hills Natural Landscape, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. Part of our remit is outreach and raising the nature agenda.

We have monthly evening talks from external speakers from October to May excluding January, usually on the first Wednesday of the month, where we meet at the Sheriff Hutton Methodist Church Hall. Past talks have included; ‘Attracting Swifts and House Martins’ with Jonathan Pomroy, ‘Grass Verges and Wildflowers of Yorkshire’ with Margaret Atherden and ‘The State of Nature in Yorkshire’ with Alastair Fitter.

During the summer months we have outdoor planned activities usually led by an expert eg bird walks, Moth mornings, and small mammal trapping, which require pre-booking.

We have an annual membership and also a non-member fee per talk or activity.
