What is National Newt Day?
National Newt Day brings attention to providing suitable habitats for Great Crested Newts and other newts living in the UK. The initiative is led by Bath Spa University Environmental Science academics who annually run a ‘newt audit’ on the University’s Newton Park Campus, which is a living lab and proud to be home to a population of Great Crested Newts. The newt population is studied and surveyed by students and staff.
Legally protected in the UK, the Great Crested Newt is officially considered an endangered species, and under the UK’s biodiversity action plan is a priority species and illegal to catch, possess or handle without a licence.
When is National Newt Day 2027?
National Newt Day 2027 will take place on the 24th of April 2027.
