A resource to streamline your submissions and access your data

Inspired by the recording activities of our National network of volunteer groups around the UK, ARG UK are proud to launch “Record Pool”, a national web based amphibian and reptile recording database, as a resource to collect data through the UK in the interest of monitoring native populations for the purposes of conservation and ecology.

Whether you’ve seen a toad in the back garden, an adder whilst out on a walk, have a clipboard full of newt data from a field trip, or are a professional ecologist, we encourage you to put your records in the ARG UK

Record Pool!
