Kenneth Anderson Nature Society has been formed by the readers of the books of the late Kenneth Anderson-hunter, author and Naturalist.

It is an independent, non-commercial, non-profit making, non religious and non-political autonomous body.

The Aims and Objectives are

1. To promote awareness and appreciation of Nature in all its forms and manifestations.
2. To undertake and to aid the conservation of Nature.
3. To actively encourage and undertake scientific study and documentation of nature and
its life forms.
