The Mammal Society Training
We are keen to help everyone appreciate Britain’s wild mammals and believe one of the best ways to do that is to train people in the skills needed to identify, record, track, or monitor mammals. In addition, our courses help participants understand the status and legislation surrounding different species and provide up-to-date information on how to conserve our natural heritage.
Every year we take our suite of training courses all over the United Kingdom, training everyone from interested armchair ecologists to students to environmental consultants.
Course Trainers
We have a team of trainers based all over the country, who are selected for both their knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject. You will soon be able to download profiles of our current trainers. Although courses cover a standard syllabus, each individual trainer will add their own personal touch and experiences.
