ARG UK promotes the conservation of our native amphibians and reptiles and their environment by promoting and supporting the development of a network of independent Amphibian and Reptile Groups (ARGs).
You can help our native amphibians and reptiles by getting involved with one of the 60+ independent volunteer ARGs in the UK.
Affiliated groups benefit from our insurance scheme, local groups websites, advice notes and fundraising support.
We provide online recording through the Record Pool to help capture herpetofauna data from across the UK.
We produce fun downloads for kids and their parents and teachers, and other useful resources.
Chris Monk (Derbyshire Amphibian and Reptile Group) appeared on the last episode of Wild Britain with Ray Mears looking at great crested newts in the dewponds of the Peak District. Ray didn't actually eat any newts, as Chris explained that their skins contain toxins. Chris appears in the second half of the programme.
