How do we spend our money?

ARGSL does not hold large cash reserves and group funds are spent on practical work to benefit amphibians and reptiles. So far ARGSL has provided funding to enable the construction of new ponds at Wigan Flashes and Cuerden Valley Park, Preston. Future donations will be used to create more ponds at new sites. If you would like ARGSL to consider working on a site near you, please contact us.

The ARGSL records database

ARGSL is developing a records database for amphibian and reptile records covering the Lancashire and Greater Manchester areas. This is being done with advice and IT support from Dr. Lee Brady from Calumma Ecological Services who is very kindly providing his services free of charge.
