Wildlife Surveys

Ask any staff member or volunteer who has worked at Slapton Ley NNR which part of their work is most enjoyable and rewarding, and there's a strong chance that surveying wildlife will crop up as a common response.

With the huge biodiversity that Slapton Ley has to offer, there are limitless possible surveys that could be carried out, unfortunately of course only a handful can actually be done!

Visit the links to the right to discover about the various wildlife groups that are surveyed, and to learn about how the surveys are carried out. Results of some of our completed surveys are available for certain groups of the wildlife community.
