Our next event is a wildlife survey at Ashes Quarry with Fran Garcia on September 7th. Fran's passion is spiders but they will be looking for a variety of species. Please check our events page for details and upcoming events.

Wildlife is an important part of Weardale's landscape but much of it is being lost. In order to conserve and protect our natural heritage we want to play our part in understanding our wildlife and encouraging others to enjoy our surroundings.

We aim to:

• Bring together people interested in wildlife
• Record key wildlife species and their habitats
• Encourage local interest in wildlife and conservation
• Share our knowledge and skills with other groups and organisations

If you would like to get involved, your enthusiasm and interest would be warmly welcome and we have many events in the pipeline. If you are interested in joining our steering group, please let us know, we are always looking for volunteers. We can be contacted by email at enquiries@weardalewildlifegroup.co.uk or check out our facebook page. Feel free also to post wildlife images on our blog page on this website or on our facebook page. Please note, we have a no dog policy.

We also record wildlife sightings which are submitted to Wildwatch. Please use the following link to record your own sightings Wildwatch
