ARC need your help!

The ARC

[Amphibian Reptile Conservation Trust] are appealing for information from anyone who has seen or heard Natterjack toads along the Solway Coast over the last few months.

There are unfortunately a number of sites along the coast which go unrecorded and while it looks like the numbers of Natterjacks are declining (based on casual records) we can’t say for sure if this is actually the case.

In addition we are looking at establishing a new network of volunteers who can help with Natterjack recording along the Solway Coast.

If you are local and interested in joining the network of Natterjack recorders please respond in email to both

Yvette Martin (ARC’s Amphibian Conservation Officer) Yvette.martin@arc-trust.org and

David Hind (Scottish Volunteer) on field.herper@outlook.com
