Free public lectures on nature for naturalists and curious visitors at Kelvin Hall, part of the Glasgow Natural History Society series.
The Glasgow Natural History Society is running a series of free public lectures at Kelvin Hall this autumn, with talks every month from 6 October until 8 December. They're usually on the second Tuesday of the month at 7pm, though the October one falls on the first Tuesday instead. Each session lasts about an hour, so you're in and out in a reasonable evening.
The speakers are researchers, conservationists and writers, and the talks are aimed at lifelong naturalists and anyone simply curious about nature. You don't need any specialist knowledge to get your head around them. The subjects cover a wide range of natural history, from wildlife reserve management and amphibian behaviour to nature and bee-keeping, so the focus shifts from one session to the next.
It's worth keeping in mind that the Society is currently celebrating its 175th anniversary, which puts the whole thing in a bit of context. These aren't just one-off talks; they're part of a long-running tradition of bringing natural history to a public audience in the city.
