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 as of June 2020 , now 10,261 species from the Exmoor National Park Area, plus Minehead and Dunster Beach. It is hoped there will also be future additions and updates.
