Redington and Frognal residents' Garden Wildlife survey
an extension of the Camden Wildlife survey


Please tell us about the wildlife that you’ve seen in your RedFrog Area
garden (see map) or your Netherhall Area garden, during a particular month. Answers to this survey will be analysed in the context of the Camden survey and the by the RedFrog Association and will go into the GiGL partnership database.
 


         

The Redington Frognal Conservation Area occupies a special position through its unique contribution to Camden’s  green space.  Its many and large gardens form an important green corridor, with trees, hedges and lawned areas, connecting to Hampstead Heath.  This is key to supporting biodiversity and is home to wildlife including bats, owls, toads, dragonflies, wrens, song thrushes and other species.

The
Redington Frognal Association was formed in 1988 as an umbrella association for the individual street associations (which maintain their own identities) in order to  participate more effectively in the planning process.  It is held in high esteem by Camden and its input is automatically sought on any significant planning issue.
 

The information you provide about wildlife will help Camden build a better picture of what species live in your borough.  The RedFrog Association have extended this survey with additional questions for local residents, with the aim of finding out more about the Redington and Frognal neighbourhood in particular.

If you are a resident of another part of Camden, or also want to enter data for a non-garden site in Redington/Frognal e.g. church yard or school ground, please fill in the Camden Wildlife form instead, available here.
