Overview
Join us for a General Field Recorder Day at Lesnes Abbey Woods – no taxonomic focus, we will be recording a bit of everything!

Join like-minded people with an interest in recording wildlife observations for a day identifying and recording in an informal environment. Naturalists of all levels (from beginner to expert) will be able to share their experiences with peers and help one another improve their knowledge and build confidence in biological recording.

What will the day involve?

Practical experience of finding and identifying a range of species in the field.
The opportunity to share expertise and teach others.
A chance to meet fellow like-minded people from a range of different disciplines.

What do I need to know in advance?

This event is aimed at adults only.
Attendance is free, but booking is essential as spaces are limited.
Recorders of all abilities are welcome.
Identification will take place in the field whenever possible, but some specimens may need to be collected to be observed in more detail and identified at a later date.
We’ll be outside for the whole day so please bring suitable clothing for the weather, as well as lunch and any snacks you will require with you on the day.
