Help wanted:

An objective is to construct, over a 10-15 year timescale, a detailed inventory of Radley's wildlife. This will provide a baseline against which future generations can monitor changes in biodiversity. The above is just a start.

You can help by providing information about wildlife in your locality of Radley arising from your observations and sightings. Also, please tell us about any errors you find on these pages.

Also, we would welcome contributions, from those with specialist expertise, in botany or zoology for example, to the authorship of these pages. If you would like to help, please contact us.
