The Yorkshire Mammal Group (YMG) was established in 1970 and aims to promote the scientific study of mammals and to encourage a wider public interest in them, particularly in Yorkshire.
The YMG holds a range of events including small mammal trapping, walks looking for field signs, and talks.
Our members range from being amateur naturalists to those involved in mammal research. The one thing we all have in common is our love of wildlife, especially mammals. There are no special qualifications needed to join the YMG!
For more information, see the YMG website.
NYBG was officially founded in 1985, although the founder members had been carrying out bat work under the auspices of the Yorkshire Mammal Group since the 1970s. North Yorkshire Bat Group remains part of the Yorkshire Mammal Group, but if your interest is mainly bats you can join the bat section only.
NYBG is run by volunteers and is the only organisation concerned with the conservation of bats and furthering public understanding of bats in the county. We cover the modern county of North Yorkshire and the City of York. In Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland we work in conjunction with Durham Bat Group and Tees Valley Wildlife Trust.
The bat section holds a range of events, publishes a monthly newsletter, gives talks about bats to other organisations, and conduct bat survey and studies to further bat conservation.
More details are available on the NYBG website.
