Membership
The group has an open membership so that any individual can join and leave as they wish.
We are not currently charging a membership fee but will gratefully accept donations at events or on an ad hoc basis.
If you wish to become a member or make a donation please visit the contacts page or send us an email and we will add you to the mailing list.
As a member you will be invited to walks, talks and to take part in our annual otter survey and spraint collection events. We will also keep you up to date on workshops and conferences which may be of interest. If you sign up for an event you will receive a free gift from our selection of survey guides, magnets or the Otter Network car/window sticker.
We will also collate all of your sightings records to ensure that the local records centre - ERIC North East - have the most up to date data for our area.
​
All donations are vital so that we can purchase insurance to run our events, provide training and keep the website running.
Without you there is no otter research in the northeast.
