Surveying Terrestrial Invertebrates for Biological Recording

This course is fully booked on this date but you can join the waiting list (by scrollling to the bottom of the page) in case space becomes available or it is run on another date.

This course is designed for anyone interested in the amazing diversity of invertebrate life found in terrestrial habitats. It is suitable for both countryside professionals and amateur naturalists.

Field excursions will introduce a variety of collecting and surveying techniques appropriate to a range of habitats. These will be complemented by workshop sessions back at the Centre, helping you to identify specimens to the correct taxonomic group and, where appropriate, to species level. Illustrated talks will provide an insight into the diversity, ecology and conservation of invertebrates.

This is an accredited course linked to the University of Birmingham Certificate in Biological Recording and Species Identification (full 10 credits). You may therefore have your learning assessed if you wish.

The content is also appropriate for anyone wishing to contribute to their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements.

Paul Lee leads a number of invertebrate identification courses at Flatford Mill each year. He is a freelance ecological consultant specialising in invertebrate identification, ecology and conservation.

‘Paul is very knowledgeable, patient and helpful’. Course participant October 2010.
