The Society
Formed in 1973 the aim of the Society is ' to stimulate interest in natural history and to play a part in the conservation of flora and fauna on Deeside and in the surrounding area '. Now a registered charity with a membership of over 500 the Society is in a stronger position than ever to further this aim.
Members receive a newsletter and programme card four times a year. Field meetings are held monthly throughout the year to places of special ecological interest and importance. During the winter a series of colour slide talks, held in the Connah's Quay Community Centre, give the opportunity to hear specialists on a variety of natural history subjects.
In 1974 the Society approached the C.E.G.B. at Connah's Quay Power Station to ask if a hide could be located on their land overlooking the river Dee. They agreed, and it was from such humble beginnings that a fine reserve was established.
