Starting with the AGM and members' day in September or October, there is a monthly indoor meeting with guest speakers on a wide variety of subjects, usually, but not always, with a botanical theme.
Then from around April onwards there is a programme of outdoor field trips, mostly at weekends, with some midweek, and one evening meeting. There is also a chance to go further afield on the annual weekend away.
Please note;- Anyone attending Inverness Botany Group meetings or field trips does so at their own risk.
Anyone wishing to attend a summer field trip should contact the co-ordinator on the phone number provided a few days before the trip. As the co-ordinator may need to get in touch about any last minute changes to the parking arrangements or venue booking is essential.
The meetings from November 2025 to February 2026 inclusive will only be online via the zoom platform. The final meeting of the winter will be at Smithton Free Church, 1 Murray Road, Smithton IV2 7YU follow the link for a map.
