Wildlife Survey and recording forms

Animals in Cornwall are massively under-recorded. A good example of this is shown by our current records: they imply that wood mice in Cornwall are as rare as dormice! This is of course not true, but unless all species, even the more common ones, are recorded, then a full picture of what is happening to wildlife populations around us cannot be achieved.

Recording wildlife of any kind is very important, especially to people involved with conservation. If you are not aware of the presence of an animal in a particular area, how can you strive to protect it?

Please send all your records to us here at the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, Five Acres, Allet, Truro, Cornwall, TR4 9DJ, for the attention of Jayne Herbert, or e-mail them to us.

Records sent to the Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly and the Cornwall Wildlife Trust may be entered on a computer database and used for nature conservation, research and education. Records may be passed on to other recorders where appropriate.

Don't forget that all of your records are important!
