Gearing Up for the Season: 2025 Seasonal Training Highlights

Earlier this week, we hosted a Seasonal Training Evening at our office.

This session provided invaluable insights into key ecological methodologies, species-specific survey techniques, and best practices to ensure compliance with legislation and industry standards. This equips our new seasonals for the season ahead.

The training was led by esteemed members of our ecology team, including Kinzie Clapham, Head of Ecology; Victoria Halford, Principal Ecologist; and Matthew Norris, Technical Ecological Mitigation Lead. Their combined expertise and in-depth knowledge provided attendees with a comprehensive understanding of ecological best practices and the latest methodologies in the field.

Training Topics Covered:

  • GCN, Reptile & Bat Survey Techniques – Ecology and Methodology
  • Protected Species Translocation Methods and Welfare
  • Staff Conduct on Site
  • Ecology Best Practice Guidance and Legislation
  • Basic Site Health and Safety

The evening was not only an opportunity to expand technical knowledge but also fostered team collaboration and professional growth. By equipping our seasonal staff with the latest ecological methodologies and reinforcing the importance of compliance and ethical conduct, we continue to uphold our commitment to ecological excellence.

We look forward to watching our seasonals deepen their skills over the next few months and go on to forging a career in Ecology.
