LNHG is an active and friendly local natural history group based within the Lorn region of Argyll. We hold regular walks, talks and events for our members and the public.
Our Saturday field trips are normally open to members and non-members alike. They are a great way to explore new sites and improve your identification skills, as well as meeting like-minded people.
We also hold Monthly talks all year round, normally on the second Tuesday of each month. Before Covid these were held alternately in Seil and Oban. Currently our monthly talks are held online via Zoom but we are aiming to reintroduce in-person talks again in 2022.

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!

Species of the Month
Each month we nominate a species for members to look for. You can also look for species from the same month in previous years, as every record helps.
