CJS Training: Surveys and Fieldwork

Many conservation organisations appeal for volunteer surveyors to record and submit local sightings for a national wildlife survey. Taking part in any of these surveys will give you useful experience and also help to extend the scientific knowledge of a species, so vital for appropriate conservation management. Some include training in survey techniques and some may even pay expenses.

iSpot website helps you put a name to wildlife you have seen. At iSpot ( www.ispot.org.uk ) you can upload pictures and connect with a social network of thousands of users, from beginners to experts. iSpot is an Open University website funded from The Big Lottery Fund’s £11.7 million grant to Open Air Laboratories.

Be on the look out for the Oak Processionary Moth, a native of southern and central Europe, it has been found on oaks in London.

The caterpillars pose two problems - feeding can cause serious defoliation of oaks and they readily release tiny barbed hairs containing a toxin that causes severe skin irritation and allergic reactions in some people. Larvae may be found between April and July, feeding during the day in groups and congregating at night in communal nests. Larvae pupate in July and adult moths fly during August and September.
