Ben Harris from Froglife will be leading this workshop as part of the Discovering Reptiles Project, only open for members of the Countryside Management Association. Froglife are a national wildlife charity committed to the conservation of amphibians and reptiles and this project aims to improve participant’s knowledge of reptiles and their national recording throughout the UK. Ben has a number of years’ experience running reptile surveys and ecology talks whilst working as a ranger and project officer.

The talk will cover common and widespread UK reptiles as well as rarer species and non-natives, with an overview of their identification and ecology. We will go into depth on how to employ suitable survey techniques.

The workshop begins at 09:00 and should finish no later than 13:00.
