It is vitaly import for Gwent Wildlife Trust's work that we have as much and as detailed data about the wildlife present in Gwent - species, locations and abundance. You can help collect this data.

National Survey Schemes
Interested in surveying and recording wildlife? We run a range of training events across the year to help volunteers build the skills and confidence in species identification to allow them to participate in National Survey schemes (such as bumblebee, harvest mice and butterfly recording). Volunteers can then take up a transect, either on one of our reserves or in a green space local to them with the help and support of our Evidence Team.
Remote volunteering
We are currently putting cameras out across Gwent to try and monitor the pine marten populations in the county. Cameras are out in the field for 6 weeks at a time, and this picks up an array of non-target species! We are looking for volunteers to help sort through this footage online, inputting records into a spreadsheet.
