Pan-Species Listing: How to Become a Super-Naturalist

Pan-Species Listing (PSL) is an exciting initiative encouraging naturalists to record ALL the species they have seen in the UK in a friendly and competitive way that promotes general wildlife recording and biodiversity in the process. In this talk, Graeme Lyons will introduce the PSL approach, describe the benefits of the framework, and then take us on a whistle-stop tour of the relevant ‘groups’ of wildlife in the UK (how to get into them, where to start, etc.). The talk will be sprinkled with lots of nice photos and anecdotes from Graeme’s storied career as an entomologist and pan-species lister.

Wild Tolworth Biological Recording

As part of the Wild Tolworth project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Biological Recording Company ran seven Field Recorder Days at Tolworth Court Farm in 2024 and 2025. Across these events, 186 participants generated 825 biological records across various species, including pollinators, grasses, dragonflies, fungi, and beetles.
