*Mammal Surveyors Wanted*

[njr304]

Have you ever surveyed mammals in the UK?
More specifically, do you have experience surveying woodland mammals?
And finally, do you want to help represent your geographic region in a UK wide study?

Unfortunately, this post is not advertising a job; however, your experience, knowledge and aspirations could support the future of mammal surveying in the UK.

A short online questionnaire aims to investigate the current use of different survey methods, perspectives, and proposals for the future. If you are able to complete and/or disseminate this questionnaire to colleagues and contacts involved in mammal surveying (excluding small mammals, bats and marine species), I would greatly appreciate your support.

I believe by maximising participation, the results may be more representative of the views of UK mammal surveyors, thereby increasing the validity of conclusions and providing greater power for recommendations.

The questionnaire can be found via The Mammal Society website and will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete: Survey Methods for UK Mammals - Review Questionnaire

If you have any questions about my project or encounter any problems with the questionnaire, please do not hesitate to contact me: Nathan.Roberts@Cumbria.ac.uk or visit Nathan ROBERTS :: Blog. Thank you.

Hi.

A final request for all mammal surveyors in the UK - the deadline is fast approaching.

To be part of this study, please see the 'Current Surveys' page of The Mammal Society website (mammal.org.uk) or click the following text for a direct link: Survey Methods for UK Mammals - Review Questionnaire

I had a go, but I've only ever done water vole surveys so it turns out I couldn't take part.
