'Molewatch' has been launched by the People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES). The project aims to map the distribution of moles across the country.

The Molewatch project asks members of the public to record all sitings of moles on their Molewatch website.

PRTES hopes to log the sightings of 10,000 volunteers.

The PTES survey then aims to map the distribution of moles across the country.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
