Membership

In addition to field meetings and indoor meetings, members of the Society receive:

  • the quarterly newsletter, containing articles on wildlife matters as well as news about the Society and its events;
  • a free copy of The Gloucestershire Bird Report when published to those who request it;
  • free copies of The Gloucestershire Naturalist which contains more scientific articles on Gloucestershire wildlife. Special editions will be supplied free to those who request them.

GNS members also have free access to the Society’s extensive library which is held at Hartpury College.

From 1 st January 2022 GNS will as far as possible, be delivering digital PDF copies of GNS News and The Gloucestershire Naturalist rather than printed paper versions. We have to properly manage our costs and reduce our carbon footprint.

Choose which option you wish to take and use the appropriate ‘Buy Now’ button below. These rates are per household, regardless of how many members reside at the address.

Selecting any of the membership options below will take you to a secure PayPal page. You will then be given the option to pay using your PayPal account or one of a range of debit/credit cards. Please note that it is not necessary to have a PayPal account if you wish to pay by debit/credit card. These payments are annually recurring until you choose to cancel. To cancel, you can simply stop the recurring payment with PayPal or your bank.
