Great crested newts, licensing and mitigation - 27th-29th November

Legacy Habitat Management Ltd will be carrying out a newt fencing demonstration at the 2012 Great Crested Newts, Licensing and Mitigation Course - 27th-29th November 2012.

This course is run by Jim Fairclough, Senior Ecologist with Golder Associates, in association with Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (ARC-Trust) to bring together the theory and practice of great crested newt mitigation.

Real life case studies and examples of best practice will be used to identify some of the pitfalls often encountered when developing great crested newt mitigation projects. The course will give participants a thorough understanding of Natural England form WML-A14-2 and the skills needed to manage a great crested newt mitigation project from start to finish.

Further information can be found on page 9 of the ARC-Trust 2012 course programme.
