TRAINING

Amphibian and Reptile Conservation hold training events at some of our reserves and also as part of the National Amphibian and Reptile Recording Scheme (NARRS). To find out more keep an eye on our events listings or the NARRS website.

The best way to keep up to date is to join one of our volunteer groups. Once you' ve brushed up on your ID skills you may be able to help out with surveying.

Other training can be available through ARG-UK, a national network of volunteer groups working to conserve amphibians and reptiles locally.
