Wildlife advice

Let us know what wildlife you're spotting. We're working with Worcestershire Biological Records Centre to record sightings of wildlife in our beautiful county.

We want to recognise and celebrate how people have helped protect and conserve wildlife in Worcestershire.

Go wild in your garden; it's an important link in a chain that allows wildlife to move from one place to another.

Worcestershire Wildlife Consultancy provides an independent professional ecological service, operating throughout the UK but predominantly within the Midlands region, encompassing all disciplines of ecology, conservation and biodiversity.
