Checklists
of Exmoor's Wildlife |
| In
1996 ENHS produced The Flora and Fauna of Exmoor National
Park listing 8243 species which had been recorded. (Now
out of print). Since then there have been a number of
additions published annually in Exmoor Naturalist
magazine. The following lists show what we have recorded
so far and it is hoped there will be future updates.
