LNHG

Established in 2007 as the Seil Natural History Group, the Lorn Natural History Group adopted its present name in 2013 to reflect the geographical spread of its activities. Up until 2020 we were holding regular walks, talks and events for our members and the public. Through the next couple of years we held online talks but due to a lack of committe members the decision was made in November 2023 to become a more informal community of people in the local area with an interest in natural history.

The LNHG Facebook group is a place to share observations and other matters relating to the natural history of the local area. Field trips will continue on an informal basis and there will be an opt-in emailing list to receive notifications of these and any other events. They will also be announced on the Facebook group

Our informal Field Trips are a great way to explore new sites and improve your identification skills, as well as meeting like-minded people.

ABReC

ABReC is the Biological Records Centre for vice-county 98, Main Argyll, and records, collates and provides data for the region. We also accept records from other parts of Argyll that have no records centre of their own. There is a separate website for ARBReC. 

Our recording area, VC 98 Main Argyll, covers much of mainland Argyll. We are currently trying to increase the amount of data we have from under-recorded areas.

You can submit a sighting to us via the online form on the ABReC website, or via the ABReC facebook page, where you can also receive help with your identification.  Every record matters!
