Wildlife
Discover more about the wildlife that calls Gloucestershire home, information about what advice we offer, and what you can do to help support wildlife.
If you'd like to let us know what you've spotted we'd love to hear from you - you can report your sightings to the Gloucestershire Centre for Environmental Records (GCER). We not just looking for records of rarities - sightings of common species are also valuable!
For occasional records, you can email gcer@gloucestershirewildlifetrust.co.uk. All we need to know is who recorded it, what the species is, your level of certainty, the date and of course the location.
You can also check out the wildlife gardening pages to see what actions you can take on your local patch.
What are Local Wildlife Sites?
Local Wildlife Sites are areas found on both public and private land, and have a rich diversity of habitats that provide refuges and corridors for wildlife across Gloucestershire.
They can be anything from species rich grasslands and woodlands to river valleys and hedgerows, and although the sites have no legal protection they still deserves recognition as an important habitat for wildlife outside of the legally protected lands.
There are currently approximately 850 Local Wildlife Sites, and you can find out more about them by clicking the link below.
