Training Courses
Our training courses are for everyone, from interested individuals, to conservationists and ecological consultants, who want to develop their knowledge, field skills and experience for personal interest or professional development. From species introduction courses, to practical field-craft weekends, mammal identification and survey techniques, we focus on ecology & biology, law, technical skills, handling & surveying. We can also arrange bespoke courses for groups. For more information email training@themammalsociety.org.
For the one day courses, please bring a packed lunch and suitable clothes. Tea and coffee will be provided.
For more conservation jobs and courses please see environmentjob.co.uk. Our courses are also listed on countryside-jobs.com.
