JOIN US today!


If you want to support nature conservation in Jamaica, while learning about the her biodiversity, then join us today.

Membership in the Society is open to all persons.

The current membership comprises persons from all across Jamaica and overseas with wide-ranging qualifications, skills and interests. Members of the society are scientists, administrators, artists, photographers, writers and educators.

Organizations can become members or make contributions to any of the activities of the Society. So, whether you are a nature lover, amateur naturalist or professional scientist we have something to offer you.

In addition to asking members to provide for the Society, the Society provides for its members by offering them a variety of activities e.g.seminars, work shops, field trips, on wide ranging topics and social get-togethers. All members are encouraged to assist in the planning and execution of activities. Members are kept up to date by a monthly newsletter "Nature's Jottings", to which they are encouraged to contribute their own observations on the island's Natural History.

There are four types of membership: full, associate, life, and honorary. Membership fees are due on April 1 of each year and include the cost of the newsletter.
