Wildlife Surveys

The collecting of information on local wildlife through surveys is an important part of the Trust's work. Press the link on the right for more information on surveys with which the Trust is involved.
The Trust, in conjunction with the Solent Forum is collecting data on wading bird and Brent Geese feeding and roosting sites, across the Solent coast. The data will be collected over five years and will be analysed by the Biodiversity Information Team. The results will be used to inform planning and coastal management decisions.
It is important to start collecting data now in order to protect important sites for the future as pressures from development and sea level rise grow. If you are keen on birding and would like to get involved in the survey project please contact Debbie King by e-mail
debbieK@hwt.org.uk or telephone 01489 774420.
The Trust's species groups also have specially designed recording cards for
mammal and
amphibian and reptile records.
