Introduction to Wildlife Law course 2020

Fully booked.

This course is now fully booked with a waiting list. If you have missed out this year, please look out for details of next year's course. Thank you.

 

Join us for the first ever online ‘Introduction to Wildlife Law’.  Taking place across the week of 16 to 20 November, this course will be spread across 5 afternoon sessions, giving participants plenty of opportunities for breaks away from the screen and for individual study. 

The course tutors are Andrew Baker, Director, Baker Consultants Ltd; Richard Barlow, Partner at Browne Jacobson Solicitors; Bernie Fleming, Fleming Ecology consultancy; Wyn Jones, retired Head of Habitats Advice, Joint Nature Conservation Committee; and Carl May-Smith, Barrister at Browne Jacobson Solicitors. They have a wealth of experience of wildlife law.

The course will be hosted on UKELA’s Zoom platform, which has been used very successfully for the Annual Conference and a number of webinars and meetings.  We are very experienced in using this technology, so you can be assured of a smooth and welcoming environment in which to learn and participate. 

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

The cost of the course is £175 per person (which includes 1 year's free UKELA membership*) and is strictly limited to 20 participants. To book your place, log in or register and follow the instructions below.

*up to a maximum value of £102 per booking
