Derek Crawley

Vice-Chair and Training Committee Chair

I have been a member of the Society for about 30 years, playing a more active role in the last 20 years. Previously I sat on Council for six years as Local Group Representative, retiring in 2018 but remaining co-opted for two years. I am a Trainer for the Society and currently sit on both the Training and Local Group Committees. I lead Verification of mammal records on iRecord for the Society which followed on from the coordinating records for the Atlas Project with its’ subsequent publication in 2020. I received the Society’s Medal in 2021. I am the founder chair of the Staffordshire Mammal Group and in my spare time for work I am a land based assessor and verifier for vocational qualifications, watch Otters and record as many mammals as possible wherever I am.
