Bat Roosts In Trees Survey (endoscoping) at Doddington Place
If you’d like to brush up your endoscope skills by getting some practise and experience in their use, then this field day could be for you. It may be of particular interest to those of you working towards a licence.
Level 2, WML-CL18 licence holders will be leading an inspection of the trees at Doddington Place, which has many old, dead and dying trees with PRF.
We have two potential dates in mind, the 8th and/or 22nd March. The actual date will be determined by the level of interest and date preference. Please complete the form and we’ll be in touch in due course.
The form will be live to register your interest until the end of February, unless places are filled before then.
