Reptile Rescue at Lightwater Country Park

Unfortunately, there was a large heathland wildfire today at Lightwater Country Park.
The Park is home to all six species of British reptile, including the rare Sand lizard and Smooth snake.

Many animals survive the fire itself, but can quickly die off from predation by kestrels and crows, or more slowly through lack of food. In the past we have been successful in rescuing many animals, by placing artificial refuges, then collecting the animals that hide under these felts or tins.

We are planning to conduct the first main sweep for survivors on Saturday morning (23rd April). All volunteers would be very welcome to assist.

Details can be found on the SARG diary/events web page, which will be updated between now and Saturday to keep you informed of any changes.

I hope to see some of you at the weekend, and to save a proportion of the surviving animals.

Cheers,

Steve
