[2] The principal objectives of the BCSS are to promote the study, conservation, propagation and cultivation of cacti and other succulent plants.

[6] CactusWorld is published four times a year and is intended for those with a general interest in cacti and succulents.

[7] Bradleya has been published once a year since 1983 and only includes articles of a rigorously academic standard, though intended to be accessible and easily-understood by the general reader.

They also work with partners such as Kew Publishing to produce larger books for a wider audience.
