'Discovering wild things' – anniversary lecture explored 150 years of HNHS history

Hertfordshire Natural History Society began 150 years ago, with Charles Darwin among its honorary members. But could its future take wildlife recording into an era more reminiscent of TV's science-fictional 'Star Trek'?

The question was posed by HNHS Secretary David Utting when he gave a lecture at St Albans Museum on 14 May to mark the Society's special anniversary.

Wild About Hertfordshire – opening of the HNHS 150th anniversary exhibition!

 'Wild About Hertfordshire' – our family-friendly exhibition  marking the 150th anniversary of Hertfordshire Natural History Society – opened to the public on Friday 21 March.

Running until Sunday 6 July at St Albans Museum it celebrates our county's wonderful wildlife which the Society's volunteers have been recording since 1875.

Around 120 guests enjoyed the opening night preview, including the Mayor and Mayoress of St Albans, Jamie and Liz Day.
