Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (ARC) is starting the New Year with a prestigious award from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The 18-month development grant of £212,496 will support ARC to progress their plans to create education programmes centred around amphibian and reptile species, connecting young people to native wildlife and creating educational resources available for use across the UK.
The ambitious initiative, known as Hop Spots, will focus on regions with significant amphibian and reptile populations and habitats, including Merseyside, East Anglia and Dorset. The project is designed to address the growing disconnect between young people and nature, cultivating the next generation of conservation stewards, while raising awareness of the UK’s underrepresented and endangered native species.
ARC is currently recruiting for a Hop Spots Development Phase Officer, find out more here
