We carry out practical conservation work, assisting work parties and wardens. We run events, surveys, courses, day trips. 🍃




A fantastic chance to explore different habitats, to catch some beasties, and to hopefully identify something never recorded in the park before! facebook.com/suttonparknnr/…














Me, earlier today, teaching students from the @Pwcsociety how to “size up” an animal (in this case, a muntjac deer) from their gait size! We also found badger and fox tracks!

52 bottle traps made...only another 52 to go! Getting ready to do 6 weeks of smooth and great crested newt research in five ponds in the West Mids🦎 #amphibians #newts @BBC_ARG_ #research (Will be carried out under licence) 🍃💦













One way to spot toads is to keep an eye out for Toad Crossings. When returning to their breeding ponds Toads often have to cross roads and, as many toads cross at the same point this can be quite a spectacle on a warm damp evening! ⬇️
