Get involved in our wildlife monitoring programmes and help gather data on a variety of species and habitats. The results of these surveys help us with practical reserve management.

Projects include:
- Bat call surveys
- Grassland assessment
- Aquatic insect surveys
- Fixed point photography
- Dormouse nest box monitoring
- Breeding bird survey
- And many more...
Experience required
Previous experience of surveying is useful but not essential for most surveys. All you need is the enthusiasm to come out regularly and the drive to learn more about our wonderful local wildlife.
