About Us

Welcome to Gloucestershire Amphibian and Reptile Group (GlosARG)

Gloucestershire Amphibian and Reptile Group (GlosARG) supports volunteers conserving amphibians and reptiles across Gloucestershire.

Gloucestershire is a special place for Amphibians and Reptiles whether you are in the Forest of Dean, Cotswolds or Severn Vale. We would love to hear from anyone who is concerned with the conservation of our native frogs, toads, newts, lizards and snakes.

GlosARG is an affiliated group of ARG UK http://www.arguk.org/ and aims to:

Raise awareness
Recruit volunteers
Survey Gloucestershire
Manage existing habitats
Create new habitats
Achieve protection status on existing and new habitats
See Gloucestershire recognised as a special place for Herpetofauna Conservation

This isn't going to happen overnight and it isn't going to be easy, but with our passion, focus and some much needed help, we are sure we can achieve our goals. We will be organising walks, talks as well as teaching volunteers how to survey all the magnificent amphibians and reptiles we have in Gloucestershire.

We want to show the world the wonders of this special county. Please contact us if you would like to help.

We hope you will join us and thank you for your support.
