New Spreadsheet of Forest Town Wildlife Sightings
FTNCG gathers sightings of wildlife in Forest Town. See our 2015 Sightings Spreadsheet for a summary of what our members have seen this year. Our sightings forms are listed below under the heading of ‘FTNCG Forms and Documents’, and we encourage everyone in Forest Town to record what they have seen and to send it in for our records. In March 2015 FTNCG sent the official recorders more than 1,300 FTNCG‐recorded sightings covering the period July 2012 ‐ March 2015, and we have already gathered over 700 further sightings to submit in our next batch.
