The course is designed to introduce the wildlife law framework in England and Wales focusing upon species and Habitats Regulations Assessments (HRAs) legislation and providing participants with the chance to look at relevant case studies. 

Emphasis will be placed on the practical rather than the academic impact of the law.  The experienced team of course tutors will seek to make the issue come alive by reference to real casework situations and thus to take away some of the mystique attached to law and to de-mystify some of the jargon.  We hope that the course will help participants regard Wildlife Law as a tool which they can use to safeguard sites and species, rather than as the sole preserve of solicitors, lawyers and other legal specialists.
