What is the National Polecat Survey?
This is the only dedicated national survey for polecats and calls on members of the public to submit any sightings of polecats. The survey will run until the end of 2025 and will be followed up bby a survey report of the national findings.
The National Polecat Survey is supported by other organisations including The Mammal Society, local mammal groups and biological record centres from around Britain through the sharing of polecat data.
Anyone can get involved
No prior experience is necessary, but you will need access to a computer or smartphone to submit your sighting. If you can, please send a photograph or video of the animal to help with our verification and recording.
VWT’s 'Report a Sighting' form
Welsh Ministers have recognised the nature emergency and are committed to protect and effectively manage 30% of the marine and 30% of the terrestrial environment in Wales by 2030. Those engaged in nature recovery, the so called ‘nature workforce’ are crucial to the delivery of this ambitious target.
But Welsh Government have limited information, so, we are undertaking a survey to try to understand the people, (roles, skills, qualifications, age profile, numbers etc) and the range of organisations that make up the ‘nature workforce’ in Wales. We have not yet specifically defined the ‘nature workforce’, because we do not yet know enough about the range of people, organisations and roles involved.
So, we are asking you to decide. You may be full or part-time, paid or unpaid (volunteer), in the public, not for profit, academic, third or private sectors.
If you think that you are contributing to conserve or restore nature, in a voluntary, or paid capacity, then please fill in the survey.
