The Linnaean Society of New York

The Linnaean Society of New York provides a forum for the sharing and advancement of science-based knowledge through a program of lectures and field trips. It fosters an appreciation of the natural world with a special emphasis on birds. Founded in 1878, the Society comprises dedicated amateurs and professionals interested in the study, preservation, and enjoyment of nature and the environment.

The Linnaean Society of New York presents programs on natural history topics online via Zoom or at the American Museum of Natural History monthly from September through May, except March.
