Summary

The Queensland Naturalists' Club and Nature Lover's League (the second part of the name was dropped in 1949) dates from 1922 when the Field Naturalists' Club of Queensland changed its name. Field excursions continued to be feature of the Club's activities, as did the publication of the Queensland naturalist. In recent years the Club's publications program has included major monographs on Queensland flora and fauna. Since 1992 the Club has awarded the Queensland Natural History Award.
