Learn more about the fascinating world of badgers. This 1-day course will allow you to gain insights into their behaviours, biology, ecology, and conservation across the UK. 

While direct observation of badgers may prove a challenge, we will equip you to decipher their distinctive field signs, offering valuable information on their habitat use and lifestyles. The course includes hands-on field activities to enhance your familiarity  the species. 

The event will be delivered by Morag Boyd; a nature conservation professional with more than 25 years of experience.

Morag is currently working as Rural Hedgehog Officer for the People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES).   Prior to starting this job in February this year, she spent 3 years as Community Engagement Officer for Scottish Badgers,  running their National Badger Survey and teaching more than 400 volunteers the skills needed to survey for badgers.

A CPD certificate will be provided on completion of this course.

Course level: 2 - Beginner level

Attendees will ideally have some basic understanding of the topic. The event will then allow them to consolidate pre-existing knowledge and develop their skills. (e.g. knowing that beavers are semi-aquatic mammals => being able to recognise the signs of their presence)
