SUMMARY:Water Vole Ecology and Field Signs Training - Thursday 23rd May 2024
DESCRIPTION:Book tickets now\n  \nThis course will cover water vole ecology\, lifecycle\, habitat\, survey techniques\, and the identification of field signs. \nNo prior knowledge necessary. The course is suitable for anyone with a professional or personal interest in this species\, and is designed to guide you towards taking part in our National Water Vole Monitoring Programme (NWVMP). \nWater voles are fully protected by law\, but they can be elusive and difficult to detect. It is important that NWVMP volunteers\, conservationists\, and ecologists know how to survey for them and other riverbank species. \nBy the end of the training\, you will be able to: \n\nIdentify water vole\, otter and American mink field signs\nUnderstand water vole ecology\, conservation and legislation\nConduct a water vole survey\, and optimise chances of detecting water voles during surveys\nAssess habitat suitability for water voles and explain suitable habitat management techniques\n\n The species identification element of the course will cover a range of water vole field signs (e.g. droppings\, feeding signs\, burrows) in great detail and it will compare them to other easily-confused species. \n  \nDate: Thursday 23rd May \nTime: 2pm to 3:30pm \nCost: Free \nVenue: Online (Zoom) \n  \nYour tutor: Emily Sabin BSc (Hons) MRSB \nEmily is the Water Vole Officer at People’s Trust for Endangered Species.
