The Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union conference will be held on Saturday the 19th March 2016 at the National Science Learning Centre, University of York.

The conference theme is ‘Names, knowledge and natural history – the importance of modern taxonomy to the amateur naturalist’. This topic encompasses many fascinating and important questions that we will explore. Why do scientific names have to keep changing, and how can we keep up with these changes? How should we use species’ names to communicate about natural history to different audiences? How will the molecular revolution change biological recording, and how does all this relate to the amateur naturalist and the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union?
