Queensland Naturalists Club

The Queensland Naturalists' Club Inc. was founded in Queensland as the Queensland Field Naturalists Club in 1906[1] to encourage the study, appreciation and preservation of Queensland’s flora and fauna and its environments. It has been known as the Queensland Naturalists Club from 1922.[2] The Queensland Gould League of Bird Lovers joined the club in 1922.[3] It organises field trips and excursions. The club is a member of the Australian Naturalists' Network.[4]

Its motto is "Poetry of earth is never dead". Its symbol is the bunya pine tree (Arucaria Bidwilli).[2]

Its members have included artist Estelle Thomson.
