Going further
I hope that this book will have sparked your interest and that you will want to go on to find out more information. One of the best ways of doing this is to contact some of the specialist societies. They usually have good websites with all sorts of links and information, and many produce leaflets and booklets, run conservation projects and will be able to tell you about events happening in your area. Joining a society can give you a chance to go on outings with experts in the area, and to receive useful information and newsletters. As well as the organisations listed here, remember there is probably a local natural history society or field club in your area.
