Members are invited to submit nominations for the HNHS 2026 Awards, which will be presented at the Autumn Conference on Saturday 7 November.

Our two annual categories are the Trevor James Award for an outstanding Hertfordshire Naturalist and the 1875 Award for an outstanding contribution to natural history in Hertfordshire. Further information – including information about past winners – can be found on this website, together with a one page nomination form that covers the main criteria.

Stuart Warrington, editor of the Hertfordshire Naturalist, is looking for for contributions to the 2026 edition.
These can be articles or observations or photos about the wildlife, habitats or geology of the county. We are happy to look at a range of content and styles, so please do consider making a contribution to our long-running journal. 

We are pleased to announce that the popular HNHS exhibition 'Wildlife - for the Record' will continue for an extra fortnight at North Hertfordshire Museum, Hitchin. The final day will now be Sunday 1 March.

The exhibition is the concluding event in celebrations to mark the Society's 150th anniversary. It features species and habitats that are special to the north of the county, and wildlife exhibits from the museum's store that are not normally on display.
