About

Purpose

The Natural History Section was established in 2010 to promote the value, improve the practice, grow the community and increase the application of natural history within and beyond the discipline of Ecology. Our objectives include encouraging the practice and integration of natural history in ecological research and education; sponsoring meetings, activities, awards, and publications that embrace and promote natural history; and broadening participation in the section to include academics and non-academics alike.
