Workshops 2012 Preview

Preview of the workshops being run by ERCCIS from winter 2011 to autumn 2012.

Listed below are the workshops organised through the Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (ERCCIS) from winter 2011 to autumn 2012. These courses are open to all interested in recording wildlife and are intended to help recorders improve their existing recording skills, learn new ones and share their expertise. There is a small charge to help cover some of the costs in running these courses. We hope you find this represents good value for money and the workshops are worthwhile in assisting your recording efforts. To book on any of these workshops, please complete the booking form and return to the ERCCIS.

If you would like further information on the workshops, on getting involved in biological recording or on the work of ERCCIS, please contact Sue Scott at the Wildlife Information Service on (01872) 240777 xtn 240. We always welcome suggestions for future workshops or field trips; remember these training events are for you!
