Leicestershire Amphibian and Reptile Network

Leicestershire Amphibian and Reptile Network (LARN) is an informal grouping of people who are interested in amphibians and reptiles in Leicestershire and Rutland. We are interested in the survey, recording and conservation of the five amphibians and four reptiles to be found in the two counties (as well as the odd introduced species).We produce an occasional newsletter; organise surveys and recording schemes jointly with CHI/LERC; support for training of recorders; and occasionally attend shows and open days.

We do not yet have organised meetings, though it is something we would consider for the future.

Contact the LARN Co-ordinator, Andrew Heaton, at 19 Rydal Gardens, Ashby de la Zouch, LE65 1FJ, aheaton@ntlworld.com
