Amphibian Surveys at Skelton Grange - Newts

Our wildlife surveying programme continues with our spring amphibian surveys – timed to coincide with the breeding season for newts.

This is a free event and a great opportunity to learn surveying skills and meet some fascinating amphibians.
This is an evening survey as the work is best done by torchlight!

• Please arrive at the time stated for an introductory session, including amphibian identification skills.

• Wrap up warm as we will be outside and keeping still! Bring a torch if you have one, although spares will be available at the centre.

Please be aware that there is currently a security cabin and gate about halfway along Skelton Grange Road. This is for the waste-to-energy site next door to the Environment Centre.

If you travel by car they will probably note the vehicle registration, ask for the driver’s name and where you are going (tell them TCV). It is simply to keep track of traffic entering and leaving. If you are walking down you can go straight past. Essentially, don’t be worried when you see it, you are going to the right place!
