Join us to learn how to monitor reptiles in Jersey. This important wildlife survey helps us to learn about our reptile populations.

Date and Time: Saturday, April 12th · 9:30am

Location: Frances Le Sueur Centre, St Ouen.

The Jersey Biodiversity Centre (JBC) is excited to share a fantastic free summer activity to spot wild reptiles across the island.  You need to spend 30minutes visually looking for reptiles and count what species you saw and how many. There are four native reptiles you could spot and by sharing your survey you can help in their conservation. 

A message from Sam Napaul: 

I'm a JICAS masters student, working with the natural environment department, carrying out a small radio-tracking project on jerseys grass snakes. The aim of the project is to monitor the habitats the snakes use by tracking their ranges and daily habits. I have obtained all the licensing required, but now i need your help!

If you find a grass snake, please contact me directly on 07748595527.

Slow Worm Anguis fragilis

Looking very much like a snake these reptiles are actually legless lizards.
