Abstract

Danish: Den store Sneglejagt 2006
Occurrence dataset created by a citizen science project, conducted in September, 2006, in Denmark. The survey was organized by OBSnatur (Friluftsrådet (The Outdoor Council) and ConDidact (Danish private company with several websites used for teaching pupils about e.g. Danish animals, www.danske-dyr.dk)) in collaboration with Natural History Museum, Aarhus. The participants searched for 5 species of snails:
 
•	Arion ater (European Black Slug, Danish: Sort skovsnegl)
•	Arion rufus (Large Red Slug, Danish: Rød skovsnegl)
•	Arion cf. vulgaris (Spanish slug, Danish: Iberisk skovsnegl) 
•	Helix pomatia (Burgundy Snail, Danish: Vinbjergsnegl)
•	Cornu aspersum (Garden Snail, Danish: Plettet voldsnegl)
The project invited the public to search for specific species in their local area. Species descriptions, instructions etc. were made available on a project website (http://danske-dyr.dk/Sv%C3%A6r/naturjagter/Den%20store%20Sneglejagt%202006/). Observations of species could be submitted through an online form. The species observations were documented by digital photos, and later were validated by scientific experts.
