We are always on the lookout for interesting stories and research to include in our communications, which includes the BDS members’ magazine, social media and e-newsletter.

Field meeting guides

Want to share your enjoyment of the outdoors and dragonfly knowledge with others? Join our field meeting team who run walks across the country at top dragonflies, as advertised in our events section.
