Dear All
We have finalised our WHIALite Programme* of training for this Spring and adverts are now live on Eventbrite. We have doubled the number of training days we are delivering this year to provide a wider spread of opportunity for those interested in attending.
Please share across your networks to ensure we give the events sufficient promotion.
The events below will also be advertised via the Wild Deer Best Practice social media platforms, so WDBP Steering Group partners will be tagged/linked where possible.
*If you/your organisation is also delivering WHIALite Training Days this Spring and would like your events to be added to the list, then please send me the full details including booking links etc and I will share along with the events listed below.
--------
The Wild Deer Best Practice partners, led by NatureScot and Forest and Land Scotland have developed a simplified methodology for assessing the impacts of grazing herbivores on woodland habitat.
Known as ‘WHIALite’ this method has been developed to stand separately to the full WHIA methodology found in the woodland grazing toolbox on the Scottish Forestry website Scottish Forestry - Woodland Grazing Toolbox
We are currently running a series of workshops delivered by Ecologists across Scotland this Spring to train practitioners in its use.
If you have an interest in learning more about the WHIAlite methodology then these free workshops will be of interest to you.
Although these events are FREE we do require places to be booked so we can keep track of numbers.
For further information regarding the training days then please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.
Kind Regards
