Sand lizard, smooth snake and adder are particularly vulnerable to threats such as climate change, recreational pressures and fires, which can severely damage their habitats.
The Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust (ARC) is creating and restoring heathlands in the Forest to enable the recovery of these species and improve the resilience of their habitats.
To date, much of the focus has been on creating a more open heathland by clearing overgrown gorse, creating ideal spaces for reptiles to forage, breed, and bask.

The green lizard in the top picture looks like he’s wearing a toupe.
