UK Natural History Training

There has never been a greater need to document, monitor and understand changes in the UK's wildlife.

Yet the number of people with the skills to survey and accurately identify species, handle and preserve reference specimens, and share their skills with others is declining.

The Angela Marmont Centre for UK Nature is developing a range of training offers to help you build your skills in identifying and recording UK wildlife.

  • 14 January 14: Creating natural history collections: Insects and other invertebrates FREE! (FULLY BOOKED)
  • 11 February: Exploring Winter Urban Wildlife FREE!
  • 11 March: Introduction to Invertebrates FREE!

While our courses are free, booking is essential. Please follow our Eventbrite page for details.
