Some species groups, such as reptiles, amphibians and even butterflies and moths are still under-recorded, so it is difficult for us to know how widely distributed certain species are or to know which sites in the National Park we need to focus management effort on.

If you get out and about in the National Park or have access to a garden or local park, where you can record local wildlife, then you can help us by letting us know what you see.

Record veteran trees with the Woodland Trusts' Ancient Tree Hunt.

Do you have a compost heap? It could be home to Slow Worms! Take part in the Slow worm survey.

Spend time anywhere near streams or ponds? Then keep a look out for the Broad bodied Chaser Dragonfly and record your sightings.

Do you watch the bees buzzing around the plants in your garden? Record which bees you see and keep an eye open for "le bee" a new arrival from France!
