ongoing surveys of several local nature reserves
Membership is
open to anyone with an active interest in the wild reptiles and

encourage networking and coordination of survey and recording
activities among the members of the group.
Records of amphibians and reptiles in N.W. Wales should be emailed to Axel Barlow (axelbarlow@btinternet.com) if from Anglesey, and to David Anning (D.Anning@ccw.gov.uk) if from mainland N.W. Wales, ideally using the spreadsheet template found in the "Files" section of this site.
