welcome to the purbeck natural history forum
The Purbeck Natural History Forum (PNHF) was established in 2022 to enable naturalists to record across the Purbeck landscape through facilitating access to multiple sites under ownership of various organisations, including private holdings. This provides naturalists with the opportunity to contribute to the understanding and management of the landscape as a whole and not a series of individual sites. By working together, and at scale, we are able to achieve so much more for nature. You can find out more about the Purbeck Natural History Forum through any of the links below.
For anyone with interest in wildlife monitoring and recording
Whether you are an amateur naturalist, an expert, or someone who has just started to develop an interest in wildlife monitoring and recording, the Forum can help you with support and guidance. The Forum encourages volunteers who want to go out individually to survey and monitor species they enjoy working on, or to join a regular survey group. Our aim is to make biological recording in the Purbeck area enjoyable, interesting and fulfilling for everyone. If you are interested in joining the Forum please complete the Registration Form. Membership is free and available to everyone with an interest in wildlife recording and monitoring. If you have any further questions about the Forum, please contact the Forum through our online contact form or email admin@purbecknaturalhistory.org.uk.
