Event: Spring into Action
Bat Conservation Trust
This is an in-person day for anyone interested in bat conservation. It offers attendees an opportunity to learn new practical skills, improve on their existing ones and to meet other bat enthusiasts. A wide range of workshops are offered, to suit beginners to bat work and those with more experience.
Three parallel 90 minute workshop sessions (A, B, and C) will be run through three sessions during the day, so each participant can chose altogether three workshops from the programme, one each from Session A, B and C. Due to limited workshop capacity, the workshops need to be booked in advanced with earlier bookings getting priority.
Lunch is provided and the programme includes coffee breaks.
Session A Workshops:
- Biosecurity & Refresher AND Updating Bat Care Guidelines (Allyson Walsh)
- Bat ID - Bat Identification Workshop (John Haddow)
- Introduction to Sound Analysis (Philip Briggs)
Session B Workshops:
- Advanced Thermal Imaging Techniques (Andrew Milner)
- An Introduction to Bat Care (Tracey Jolliffe)
- Tree Surveys (including endoscopy) (Gwen Dean)
Session C Workshops:
- Getting licensed as a bat carer (Paul Michael Reynolds)
- Nature Scot Licensing Workshop (Kevin Giles)
- Harp trapping and Mist Netting (Emilie Wadsworth)
