Overview

Are you looking for a job in nature conservation? Do you want to be able to demonstrate your practical skills to future employers? This 6 week practical online/live Effective Camera Trapping Course is designed to help!

What will I learn?

Camera trapping is now widely used in wildlife monitoring. It can determine whether a particular species is present, with conservation or legal consequences, and it can be used to help educate and engage the public with nature conservation.

This online/live course will teach you how to use camera trapping technology effectively to capture images and videos of wildlife. You will gain confidence in your ‘nature-detective’ field skills and contribute data to a citizen science project.

Who can join?

We welcome course participants from anywhere in the world. If you are a participant with a UK address we will loan you the camera. If you would like to join the course from outside the UK then you will have to buy the camera.
