Our ‘Survey Techniques for Protected Species’ course is aimed at anyone who feels they lack the necessary field skills to succeed in an ecological job. The course gives an introduction into a range of survey techniques, relevant to both conservation and consultancy.
During the course the following survey techniques will be covered:
