Join us for a day of training to learn how to survey for otters.

Sara Blackburn of the Sheffield and Rotherham Wildilfe Trust's 'Otterly Amazing' project will lead a classroom and field-based training day for Saltscape aimed at beginners, volunteers and members of the public who would like to learn how to identify signs of otters in the field. There will be a focus on urban otters and the use of camera traps to capture footage of these elusive creatures.

The training will include information on how to carry out a basic survey and report any findings to Cheshire's rECOrd centre. No previous experience is necessary but some experience of wildlife ecology and recording will enable you to get the most of the day.

The morning will be spent in the classroom at the Weaver Hall Museum, followed by a short field trip in the afternoon.

This event is limited to 20 places.
