Our Courses and Programmes
Wildlife Study Days are designed to help the people of Kent to learn more about the wildlife of the county. Beginners are very welcome and those with some experience will be able to improve their knowledge and identification techniques.
Leaders are knowledgeable in their own topics but are also pleased to discuss other points of interest as they arise. We aim to create an informal atmosphere in which everyone can progress at their own speed.
2019 Study Days
Our Study Days are held outside or in our centres across the county and offer the chance to enhance your wildlife knowledge, identification and management skills.
Our full Study Day programme up until the end until the end of the year has now been added. Only the next 12 are shown below. Please click on the black button at the bottom of the page to see all our Study Days for 2019.
