Species surveys

The County Recorders and the Essex Field Club are always involved in the survey of sites and species in Essex (see for example our meetings) and maintain county records as an ongoing process. However sometimes particular efforts are targeted towards certain groups of plants, animals or sites, and here all Field Club members, other naturalists and members of the public can help.

Many species of plant and animal are difficult to identify without considerable experience and/or microscopical examination, but we have been trying out data entry via the internet with a few species which are especially characteristic or easily recognisable. YOU CAN HELP!  Since you can upload pictures to support your record we need you to register and then be logged-on to do this.
