It caters for those interested in all areas of natural history and conservation in Western Australia through a program of excursions, meetings, workshops and social events.
The club also owns a field station at Culeenup Island near Yunderup, 100 km south of Perth where the Murray River enters the Peel Inlet.
[15] The lecture, generally featuring a well known local speaker, raises funds for the Serventy Memorial Prize which is awarded annually to a student in biological sciences at each of the four main universities in Perth.
[15] These students are subsequently invited to present a short talk at the club’s main meeting about their area of greatest interest in natural history and perhaps publish a paper in its scientific journal.
Once a year the Club organises a long-range excursion to an area of Western Australia that is of special natural history significance, such as the Abrolhos Islands or the Helena and Aurora Range.
