SARG Reptile Survey Team Note - 28 July 2010
You may know that there was a serious wildfire at Frensham Common on 11th July. There is a news link on the SARG homepage showing the fire damage.
Steve Webster, the Countryside Ranger for Frensham has asked SARG to help with a search and rescue for surviving reptiles, which are reported to be emerging from tree stumps and rabbit warrens, even after this amount of time. Steve is a 'good egg' and has been very supportive in the past, and its a worthwhile thing to do anyway.
I shall be conducting a search across the fire damaged area this Saturday (31st July), meeting outside the Ranger's hut by the Frensham Great Pond car park, at 09:00am. OSGB Grid ref: SU8447340567.
If any of you could spare an hour or two to help with the search, that would be great. If you can attend, please let me know to expect you, or if you're a bit late, just join us on the fire damaged area (we will be easy to spot!).
Many thanks,
Steve
