Join the Fife Recorders Group
Joining a wildlife group is a great way to meet local people, share knowledge and learn from experienced recorders. Many organisations also offer training and events for people looking to build their skills.
The Fife Recorders Group is a network of local wildlife experts and recorders who help verify records, share knowledge and support wildlife recording in Fife.
The group usually meets annually to share experiences, discuss wildlife recording in Fife and help shape support for local recorders.
If you’re interested in becoming involved, email nature.info@fife.gov.uk.
