Hello All
I hope this will be of interest to many of you. There have been a lot of requests for training for the Atlas and BBS so I hope it can be well supported.
BTO Training Day
There is a BTO Training Day on Saturday, 28th March 2009 at 10:00 at the Longhouse, Gilfach Nature Reserve near Rhayader, Powys.
The morning session will feature a presentation by Kate Risely BTO BBS national organiser on Survey Techniques for BBS and Atlas surveys followed by a question and answer session aimed mainly at less experienced surveyors.
The afternoon will be practical field exercises in small groups on the Gilfach Reserve under their Team Leaders on identification and survey techniques using the lessons of the morning. This will be followed by a final session in the Longhouse.
The course is free but will not supply food. Tea and coffee can be purchased in the Longhouse.
This is a good opportunity to brush up on identification and the latest techniques of surveying. Names of those planning to attend should be given to Brian Jones jones.brn10@virgin.net or 01547 560175 or by post at Lower Thorne, Presteigne, LD8 2NN by 28th Feb 2009. Any extra information an also be obtained from Brian.
