Wildlife Recording Sites

Recording the wildlife found at Tice's Meadow is very important. We can only continue to manage and protect the valuable habitats on site if we have a record of what species are present. There are a number of easy ways you can help, and in return learn about nature and contribute to the management of the nature reserve.



The easiest way to help is to make a note of your sightings and then either email us (ticesmeadow@hotmail.co.uk), tweet us (@TicesMeadow) or let one of us know in person.



Or you can record your sightings with one of the following schemes:

BTO Bird Track
National Mammal Atlas
National Butterfly Recording Scheme
National Moth Recording Scheme
National Amphibian & Reptile Recording Scheme
