Survey of species in the

YEOVIL COUNTRY PARK

for the

South Somerset District Council

by members and friends of the

Yeovil & District Wildlife Recording Group

& SSDC Countryside Officers

The survey was started in 1998 with the object of recording species found within Ninesprings.

The area now includes: Ninesprings, Penn Hill Park, Summerhouse Hill, Wyndham Hill, Riverside Walk and Riverside Park.

Lists have been prepared of: Mammals Reptiles & Amphibians Fishes Invertebrates Flowering Ferns & Club-mosses Mosses & Liverworts Fungi Lichens

Members are asked to record any species seen within the Park and send that list to the Recording Group so that a continuing up-date of the records can be made.

Records will be passed to the SSDC and the Somerset Environmental Records Centre to ensure the best possible use is made of them.
