As well as there being plenty of opportunity to volunteer with us,
Amphibian and Reptile Conservation also works closely with
Amphibian and Reptile
Groups of the UK (ARG UK) - a network of local volunteer groups,
usually organised on a county basis.
The structure and activity of
groups varies according to local interests and priorities but all ARGs
are concerned with the conservation of native amphibians and reptiles in
their local area. The primary activities of ARGs are survey and
recording, but groups also carry out habitat management work,
educational projects, site visits and toad patrols. ARGs are the sources
of local expertise for amphibian and reptile conservation, but new
members are always welcome and most groups run training events.
