WILDLIFE enthusiasts are being asked to record sightings of local wildlife in a bid to support Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s conservation efforts.

WildWalks is a new online recording tool established by The Wildlife Trusts in partnership with the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO).

It will allow people to log wildlife sightings and map records of plants and animals across Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s target areas for landscape-scale conservation, known as Living Landscapes.

Users can log into the system at wild-walks.org where walks around Living Landscapes or nature reserves can be created or selected from existing recommendations.
