50 Years for the DDOS!!
The DDOS celebrates its Golden Jubilee in 2005. On Thursday 28th July 1955 founder members set out the Society's aims as follows:
1. To observe, study and record the birdlife of an area within a ten-mile radius of Doncaster
These aims have been followed throughout the 50-year history of the DDOS. Scientific recording of Doncaster district birds has resulted in a prolific output of published data, and
must be considered a notable achievement, with 88 publications produced under its name so far.
DDOS membership grew to a mid-1970s peak of 175, with a large number of young members joining at that time.
Society members have a strong tradition of supporting voluntary conservation management at a number of local nature reserves.
This year's Golden Jubilee is a time to celebrate half a century of DDOS achievements.
2. To foster an interest in birdlife in general
3. To support and encourage all bird protection measures
