Welcome to the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union

1861-2011

Celebrating 150 years of recording the ever-changing flora and fauna of Yorkshire

We are an association of amateur and professional naturalists covering a wide range of aspects of natural history. We deal with the 'old' county of Yorkshire, as individuals and through our many Affiliated Societies, many of which are local naturalists' groups.

The YNU organises field meetings, training sessions and conferences throughout the county to which all are welcome (View the Events Calendar).

The YNU publishes 3 issues of The Naturalist each year, and an annual Bird Report. These, plus the annual Butterfly and Moths report produced by the Yorkshire Branch of Butterfly Conservation are all free to members. It also publishes books on natural history subjects from time to time. See Publications
