MTAC 2010

I am preparing to get the MTAC survey going in 2010 - 5 years since the project first started we will be looking for volunteers to help monitor adder sites in the New Forest and outside the forest in other parts of the county.

I have set up a new website looking at wildlife in and around Alresford www.alresfordwildlife.org which will also have information on MTAC in Winchester.

Make the adder count in Hampshire 2009

Surveys are being planned for adder sites in Hampshire in 2009. 

We are looking for sites in the New Forest. We know the species is quite well recorded in this area but we do not have any count data which follows the same protocol as the National Make the Adder Count Survey.

I will be visiting my adder haunts again this spring 

Avenue Park

Project Freespace

Emer Bog & Baddesley Common

Botley Wood

There are some new sites which are also going to be visited including

Hayling Island

Pamber Forest

Shedfield Common

I would like to hear from anyone who would like to learn more about adders and adopt their own local site to carry out spring counts

See you in the field soon
