The activities are designed for both enjoyment and research purposes, contributing to the understanding of Renfrewshire's biodiversity.
A spokesperson for the Paisley Natural History Society said: "Renfrewshire has a lot to offer, and it's on our doorstep.
"You can get a lot of wild experiences without having to travel long distances north or south."
The programme includes regular Tuesday evening outings, complemented by more extensive weekend trips.
The society has been actively studying local wildlife and significant habitats such as peatlands, natural forests, and species-rich grasslands.
It aims to gather information that can aid in the conservation of local wildlife.

The society is extending an invitation to new members, emphasising that no prior knowledge is required, just an eagerness to learn about and appreciate wildlife.
The spokesperson added: "We would particularly welcome people who already have some interest and knowledge to share.
"We know that over the last few years a number of people, especially during the Covid period, have picked up an interest in local wildlife, and are now hopefully ready to join in with others to share their knowledge and sense of enjoyment."
More information about the society can be found on their website.
