We will then undertake a site visit to identify field signs and learn how to set traps. The following day we will check and collect traps, processing any captured voles as we go. Assuming we capture water voles, participants will gain an understanding of practical animal welfare considerations and how to handle water voles safely. This course takes place over two days, with registration at 9:00 for a 9:30 start and finishing around 5pm on the first day.
