Where to find snails...

Snails are everywhere! Find them in dark damp places in your backyard, garden, local park or even in the school yard! Snails could be hiding amongst rotting leaves, behind logs, in small gaps or beneath garden pots.

Snails are food for birds, badgers, foxes, beetles, glow worms, hedgehogs and even people!
