Welcome to the page all about wildlife recording on Romney Marsh!

 

If you want to get involved with wildlife recording we have a packed schedule of events starting in April 2019. Keep an eye on the things to do page for full details and how to book – coming soon.

There’s also a regular monthly ecology group starting soon if you want to come out with like-minded people and help to record the wildlife of Romney Marsh – details to follow.

Help us to reach our target of 100,000 wildlife records! Plus fill in the blanks for those areas that haven’t been visited.
