Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Notability Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates The Geelong Field Naturalists Club (GFNC) is an Australian regional amateur scientific natural history and conservation society which was founded in 1961 by Trevor Pescott. It is based in Geelong, Victoria, with the aims of:

  • preserving and protecting native flora and fauna
  • promoting the conservation of natural resources and the protection of endangered species and habitats, and
  • recording information and knowledge about the flora and fauna of the Geelong region

The GFNC, with its president at the time, Jack Wheeler, was instrumental in the early 1960s in establishing the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve.[1] The logo of the club features the small ant-blue butterfly Acrodipsas myrmecophila (syn Psuedodipsas myrmecophila), an endangered myrmecophilous species that used to be found in the reserve.[2]

Publications

The GFNC's first serial publication, The Wombat: Journal of the Geelong Field Naturalists' Club, was published from 1895 to 1902. This was succeeded by The Geelong Naturalist: The Journal of the Geelong Field Naturalists' Club (until 1931), then the Geelong Naturalist: Journal of the Geelong Field Naturalists' Club (1964-1994), and then the Geelong Naturalist: monthly magazine of the Geelong Field Naturalists Club (1994 to the present). The GFNC also publishes the annual Geelong Bird Report and books on the natural history of the Geelong region.[3]
