Biodiversity Training & The Library Of Things

A LIBRARY OF THINGS FOR CITIZEN SCIENCE

Under the supervision of a local ecological consultancy, several surveys are planned this year: bat walks, checking of bat roosts in homes and barns and a water vole/otter survey. There is so much to be learned about wildlife on our doorstep. You are welcome to join the search and become citizen scientists, regardless of your wildlife knowledge. We will then be able to carry on making annual surveys as a community.

For a small deposit, the following items will be available for all. Training in their use will be included and a training event will be held in the village hall at 3pm on Sunday 13th June.

• Bat detector - to leave out in your garden to record bat calls over a period of time

• Trail camera - motion sensitive and infra-red camera to catch glimpses of species which may visit your garden
