Do I Need to Register?

Registering an account with NatureSpot is free and quick to complete, but not necessary for everyone. Register here.

Yes – if you want to help record the wildlife of Leicestershire and Rutland, use the forum for identification help and access the full website.

No – if you just want to view the species pages, galleries and information pages.

If you've not recorded anything before then don't worry, it's easy and very rewarding. See our help page on becoming a NatureSpotter.
