Join the British Herpetological Society

Whatever your age, whether you are a conservationist, a scientist, a field naturalist, or if you are interested in reptile and amphibian husbandry, the Society has something to offer. So why not join today?

The BHS is one of the world's oldest and largest UK Herpetological Societies. Founded in 1947 by Britain's leading herpetologists, the Society still enjoys its national learned status and celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 2007. Find out more about the society here. The interests of our members are catered for by our range of specialist committees: Research, Education, Captive Breeding and Conservation.

Membership gives you access to the latest issues of our publications the The Herpetological Journal, The Herpetological Bulletin and the NatterJack, which are available through the publications section of our website. The Herpetological Bulletin is also available in print, so if you choose one of the 'Print & Online' membership plans you will receive issues of this publication through the post.

As well as instant access to our publications through our website, other Membership benefits include:

• Free information leaflets - produced regularly on various aspects of conservation and captive breeding.
• Meetings - several are held each year covering all areas of the society's activities.
• Email alerts to advise you when a new Journal, Bulletin or Natterjack issue had been published to the website.
• Downloads and Videos - Members' only area with documents from our AGM plus videos of talks and presentations from BHS conferences.
