Wildlife Recording
If you have an interest in recording wildlife then we would love to hear from you. We can offer advice and support, access to training to help with managing data and providing data to TWIC. If you would like maps or species data to help you with your recording work, please submit a data request. Requests for non-commercial work are free of charge.
We organise annual survey work at a number of sites and are always looking for more recorders to help us. See our excursions to see reports of recent meetings and find out about upcoming events. You can also get involved by submitting your sightings to our wildlife surveys.
