UK Natural History Training
There has never been a greater need to document, monitor and understand changes in the UK's wildlife.
Yet the number of people with the skills to survey and accurately identify species, handle and preserve reference specimens, and share their skills with others is declining.
The Angela Marmont Centre for UK Nature is developing a range of training offers to help you build your skills in identifying and recording UK wildlife.
Events for autumn and winter
We'll be running more training days later in the year, on topics including:
- Acoustic identification
- Handling and using natural history specimens
- Illustrating nature
Dates are to be confirmed.
