Hi everyone
The Vincent Wildlife Trust is looking for volunteer surveyors to come and take part in various pine marten scat surveys in August. The surveys involve looking for and collecting any scats that could have come from the elusive pine marten. After the survey scats are sent off for DNA analysis to confirm which species they are from. No previous experience of scat surveying is needed as a full briefing and all equipment will be provided on the day. All in all, it's a nice day out in the woods!
The dates and sites are listed below. If you are interested in coming along, please contact me on here, email
elizabethcroose@vwt.org.uk or phone 01531 636441.
Many thanks
Lizzie
