Wildlife and species recording groups
This page provides contact details for a range of species recording groups across Shropshire.
Further details of how to submit records or make an enquiry to a group can be found please contact them directly. Usually the minimum information required is: your name (or the person that saw it), species name (a photograph may be sufficient in some cases), where you saw it (a grid reference is ideal), and when you saw it.
We have provided a named contact in each case. This person is the county recorder for that group of species and records can be emailed directly to them. Please include your own contact details so that records can be verified.
