National Amphibian & Reptile Recording Scheme

Welcome to the National Amphibian and Reptile Recording Scheme (NARRS) homepage!

On these pages you can find information about surveys to monitor the status and distribution of ALL the UK’s reptiles and amphibians.

The NARRS scheme brings existing surveys for our rarer species together with volunteer-based surveys to collect data on more widespread amphibians and reptiles. There is growing concern that even our widespread species are in national decline.

Use the links on the left to find out more about the different types of survey then, if you decide to take part, you can use the links on the right to find materials, survey forms and other resources to help you conduct your survey!

NARRS is led by Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (ARC) in partnership with ARG UK and many other partners. Through volunteer-based surveys, we aim to monitor the conservation status of all UK amphibian and reptile species. Click on the buttons or links to each side for more information.
