The conference will consist of talks, workshops and a poster presentation by ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ staff and a range of organisations including: Amphibian & Reptile Conservation, Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Dorset Wildlife Trust, Footprint Ecology, Field Studies Council, National Trust and Natural ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ.Â
The main theme of the conference will be exploring four key steps to enable Citizen Science to impact positively on wildlife conservation management:
- Engaging and recruiting motivated volunteers
- Effective skills training
- Appropriate data recording and management methods
- Linking data collection with conservation management planning
The National Trust’s Cyril Diver project will be presented as a case study, as well as a range of other Citizen Science projects led by public and voluntary-sector organisations.Â
This conference is geared to conservation practitioners and other stakeholders in Citizen Science and is particularly relevant to public and voluntary-sector organisations involved in harnessing the skills and time of volunteer naturalists in the surveillance and monitoring of biodiversity and site-based nature conservation management.
There is a £20 fee and a buffet lunch and tea/coffee breaks are included in this cost.Â
