The Geelong Field Naturalists Club (GFNC) is an Australian regional amateur scientific natural history and conservation society which was originally founded in the 1890s and re-established in 1961 in its present form.[1] It is based in Geelong, Victoria, with the aims of preserving and protecting native flora and fauna, promoting the conservation of natural resources and the protection of endangered species and habitats, and recording information and knowledge about the flora and fauna of the Geelong region.[2][3]

The logo of the club features the small ant-blue butterfly (Acrodipsas myrmecophila, syn Pseudodipsas myrmecophila), an endangered myrmecophilous species once found in the reserve.[4]
