    About Us

    CRAG - Cornwall Reptile & Amphibian Group

    CRAG aims to increase awareness and action on behalf of Cornwall's reptiles (snakes and lizards) and amphibians (frogs, toads and newts)
    Its activities include

    • Outings and meetings to develop members knowledge of the species found in the county
    • Participation in survey work
    • Practical conservation tasks
    • We also have social activities and get togethers with other specialist wildlife groups.

    The group is open to anyone who would like to be involved with amphibian and reptile conservation in Cornwall.

    A small annual subscription of £5.00 is payable by all Members, except students who can currently become a member for £1. New members are welcome to apply to join at any time. Click the Membership tab for full details.

    CRAG is affiliated to the Amphibian & Reptile Groups of UK.

    Please record all sightings of reptiles and amphibians seen in and around Cornwall - that includes non-natives such as terrapins. The easiest way to do this is to click on the 'Record a sighting' tab above and fill out the form. Although we love watching these animals from a safe distance, sadly not everyone appreciates them so please remember never to share exact locations on social media.

    Cornish sand lizards get a helping hand

    Posted on Wednesday 29th February, 2012
    Cornwall's sand lizard colony has been given a helping hand by the group's volunteers. Overgrown vegetation was cut back to provide suitable habitat for the sand lizards in North Cornwall Coast.

    20 volunteers were called upon to help throughout February. The important work will enable the lizards to find suitable environments away from the madding crowds of the public.

    Further surveys are planned at the site so please do contact CRAG for more details.

    Members Online Meeting

    Wed 26th March, 2025 - Wed 26th March, 2025

    We invite you to a meeting to vote on the proposed merger between Devon Reptile and Amphibian Group and Cornwall Reptile and Amphibian Group. Finding time for us all to meet thus far this year has been challenging, but we have now settled on March 26th.

    We hope you will be able to join us online from 7pm by using the following link:

    https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YTU3NDhhYzUtNDYzOC00ODc3LTg4NjMtNTg4MDM3N2RjYzEx%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22912a5d77-fb98-4eee-af32-1334d8f04a53%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%229f2a319e-0084-4d0a-ab00-5f2addbee9da%22%7d

    If the merger vote carries, we will hold another meeting in the very near future with our colleagues at Devon Reptile and Amphibian Group to discuss merger next steps, updates on each group’s activity from 2024, and the year ahead.

    We hope you are able to attend and look forward to seeing you there virtually! Additionally, if you are unable to make the meeting, but would like your voice to be heard there, then please do get in touch with your thoughts.
