ARC Members Days

Each year Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (ARC) holds free events for our ARC Members to say a big thank you for their support. This traditionally includes a guided walk on one of our reserves to talk about how we manage them for herpetofauna and many other species, plus a chance to see some animals in their natural habitat. We have also on occasion  arranged for ARC Members to have special behind the scenes access and free entry to zoos as part of Members Days.

We try to ensure that ARC Members get the chance to meet some of our native species and that there are plenty of opportunities for photographs! It’s a great place to meet like-minded people, make new friends and meet ARC staff who are always happy to answer questions.

Quotes from ARC Members:

"I attended the Woodbury Common walk. It was brilliant. Learned a lot and enjoyed the place, the animals we saw, and the people. I hope that there will be future opportunities to do this again."

"Marvellous day – thank you so much!"

“Excellent day out – informative, friendly and I got to see (and touch) my first smooth snake! Thank you!”

“Thank you for a wonderful, informative day!”

“I particularly liked the free cotton bag – partly because I am likely to get asked about it and I can promote ARC.”

“Wonderful day out. I particularly valued the close up views of the species. I would definitely come again.”
