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.
Study Days 2024 - 2025
Our Study Days offer the chance to enhance your wildlife knowledge, identification and management skills. Our face to face courses are held outside or in our centres across the county and we are now also offering courses online.
Our next 12 courses are shown below. Please click on the orange 'See all our Study Days' button below for more courses taking place in 2025.
Please note that only adults aged 18 and over can attend any of our Study Days. This is for safeguarding and insurance reasons.
