Monmouthshire Dragonfly Atlas Assistant
The Monmouthshire 2030 dragonfly atlas project was set up in 2020 by Monmouthshire County Dragonfly Recorder Steve Preddy. The aim is to produce Monmouthshire’s first dragonfly atlas in 2030, covering every part of the county and recording the dragonflies present. These records will be used to produce a comprehensive and detailed set of distribution maps.
The project will also help to identify and gather data about important dragonfly sites, which could be used to help with conservation efforts.
Steve is now looking for a volunteer assistant to help him complete the second half of the project.
Role description: Encouraging our existing recorders to visit under-recorded areas, finding new recorders to join them, keeping in contact with recorders about their progress, and working with recorders and the project organiser to overcome any unforeseen problems and challenges.
Location: Volunteer can be based anywhere.
Skills required: Strong communication skills, basic computer skills, and a basic understanding of recording dragonflies.
