Welcome to Orkney Field Club's web site. If you care to spend time you will find in our pages details about our volunteers, a newsletter giving information on our current activities and projects the Club is involved in. Do join us if you'd like to.

The Field Club was founded in 1959 to encourage the study and conservation of the natural heritage of Orkney. It is a recognised charity, No. SC 012459, and all members are volunteers.

Members are a group of people interested in and caring about Orkney's natural heritage, all aspects of the county wildlife, geology and landscape. In particular members recognise responsibility for conserving declining species for which local habitats are especially suitable, the Scottish Primrose, for example, as well as the Orkney Vole, Red-throated Diver, and other nationally important species and habitats.

During the course of each year the Club arranges a programme of indoor talks, slide shows and lectures by visiting and local speakers. The committee also organises field meetings with a wildlife or geological theme that include some venues to which individuals might have difficulty in gaining access. An interest in birds and joint ventures with the RSPB is also part of the Club's programme.

Any correspondence should be sent to the Orkney Field Club, C/O Kirkwall Library, 44 Junction Road, Kirkwall, Orkney, KW15 1AG or email the site administrator.

Copy for the Bulletin should be sent directly to David Peppitt at Swartland House, Twatt, Orkney. KW17 2JQ. Thank you.
