Please look at our Bookings Page to find out when our sessions are taking place. Please see below what each of the sessions entail. These workshops are aimed at Primary school level. If there is interest then we will run them for Secondary school level.
​
Surveying Mammals- Looking into the different ways we survey for mammals. Looking up what is a mammal, what mammals we find in the area and how we survey for each one. This is a two day long workshop and need to book onto both days to get involved. The reason for it being a two day course is the first day we learn about the mammal species and then lay out our different traps. The next day we look to see what animals we caught on our camera trap and on our footprint sheet. Learning how to ID them and what we can do to help conserve them.
​
Surveys- This is just a general overview of surveying for different species. It is a 1 day course where we will do pond dipping, Minibeast hunting, Visual surveys and Reptile Surveys.
​
Whose Poo?! - A very popular workshop! This workshop we look into all the ways in which poo can be useful. How you can survey animals based upon their poo. How you can view the diet of an animal from their poo. It can show their territory range. We'll be using materials to create life like poo from particular animals.
