About NHSN and 1829 Talks
The NHSN Talks are a series of free public lectures every autumn and winter covering all aspects of natural history and modern nature recovery strategies and projects. Free public lectures are a long-standing part of NHSN's history and are central to our purpose.
The 1829 Talks start at 18:29 in acknowledgement of NHSN’s founding year and feature early career naturalists. They provide a wonderful opportunity to hear about the latest research and projects in the environmental world. Both talks include time for questions for the speaker. They are also recorded and posted on the NHSN YouTube channel
Accesibility
The lecture hall is wheelchair accessible. The sound system may be slightly quieter at the back, so we recommend sitting near the speaker if you have difficulty hearing.
