JOIN experts from Butterfly Conservation later this month to discover how you can survey butterflies near you.

The two free workshops will teach participants everything they need to know to survey butterflies, focusing on the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme and the Wider Countryside Butterfly Survey.

Presentations will be given during the morning, followed by lunch that will be provided to all participants. In the afternoon, site visits will take place, so please wear suitable footwear and dress for the weather.

The training events will be held on Thursday, March 17 and Tuesday, March 22 from 10.30am to 3pm at the Tamar Valley Centre, Drakewalls. Each workshop is different to cover both survey schemes.

Booking is essential as places are limited. Call the Tamar Valley AONB team on 01822 835030 to book a place or visit www.tamarvalley.org.uk/hh4h
