Formed in 1973 the aim of the Society is ' to stimulate interest in natural history and to play a part in the conservation of flora and fauna on Deeside and in the surrounding area '. Now a registered charity with a membership of over 500 the Society is in a stronger position than ever to further this aim.

In 1974 the Society approached the C.E.G.B. at Connah's Quay Power Station to ask if a hide could be located on their land overlooking the River Dee. They agreed, and it was from such humble beginnings that a fine reserve was established.

Members receive regular newsletters and an annual Programme card with information about forthcoming events.  The Programme card also lists the various field meetings which are organised throughout the year to places of special ecological interest and importance.  During the winter a series of talks, held in Connah's Quay Community Centre, give the opportunity to hear specialists on a variety of natural history subjects.  Members can also find a wealth of additional information by logging in to the Members Pages (see below).
