Habitat Management and Conservation. Staffordshire University

Working in nature conservation requires an understanding of traditional land-management practices, as well as emerging techniques in habitat creation and restoration. So, if you are interested in managing habitats for wildlife and conserving biodiversity, then this course is for you. This course is applied: unlike ecology courses that are mostly about ecological theory this course is about the practical application of ecological knowledge for conservation. Many of the modules on the course are intensely practical: for example, employers are very keen that their staff have good ID skills: and we give you that. Rather than being taught all the time by academics, we bring people working as professional ecologists into the lecture theatre so you can learn from their experiences.
