As a group for reptile and amphibian enthusiasts, it fosters learning and participation across all aspects of the field, presenting opportunities for members to deepen knowledge and engage with the community. The society is dedicated to promoting the dissemination of information about amphibians and reptiles, encouraging their study, supporting conservation efforts, and nurturing fellowship among herpetologists and enthusiasts throughout New England. Meetings are held monthly at the New England Wildlife Center in Weymouth, and the organization also provides avenues for adopting or purchasing reptiles and amphibians during these gatherings. The organization serves a regional audience within New England and has been part of the community since its founding in 1972, originally under a different name before adopting its current title as membership expanded beyond Massachusetts.
