📸 An Exciting Day for Luscinia Ecology! Safety is paramount in our fieldwork, and ongoing #training is crucial for ensuring we can handle any situation that arises in the often challenging and changeable environment in which we work. As part of our ongoing training, we sent Lorna Roberts, Jennifer Senft and Nea Steele to Bristol to learn the essentials of emergency outdoor first aid. Environmental #fieldwork often involves unique challenges: 🌳 Surveying disused buildings 🌧️ Unpredictable weather conditions 🏔️ Working at height 🌑 Operating in low light or total darkness 🌿 Navigating natural hazards like uneven ground and toxic plants 🐾 Encountering animal hazards During this engaging course, we not only honed essential #firstaid skills but also enjoyed a getting to know each other a little better through roll playing different emergency scenarios. We even swapped and shared our botanical knowledge over a picnic lunch in the sunshine🧺. Who knew you could do so much with the humble Conker?!🌳 While we hope to never have to use a #defibrillator or pack an open wound, being prepared and equipped for every eventuality allows us to continue delivering top-notch #ecological services safely and with confidence. 👉 We’d like to extend a big ‘Thank You’ to Luis at First Aid Education for his engaging delivery and interesting anecdotes. It made our experience all the more enjoyable. 📢If you participate in or organize fieldwork yourself, what do you consider to be the biggest challenge and how do you prepare? Have you had to use first aid training in the field yourself while at work? Do you feel that first aid training should be compulsory? We’d love to hear your thoughts and any top tips in the comments below!👇👇👇 #FieldworkSafety #TeamBuilding #Ecology #FirstAid #LusciniaEcology #ProfessionalDevelopment #EmergencyPreparedness #FirstAidEducation #Teambuilding

Ecology is important throughout a project from undertaking site surveys to ensuring legislation is followed during works. Our Ecology team has been assisting scaffolders and maintenance workers on a heritage building in the north-west. This has allowed scaffolding to be constructed in a manner that does not obstruct potential roost sites for bats and ensured all maintenance works provide like-for-like replacements. Using toolbox talks our ecology team has been able to put together a plan that allows the maintenance workers to deliver on the project without delay whilst also ensuring the welfare and status of bats within this heritage building. #ecology #construction #heritagebuildings #environmentalmanagement #biodiversity #sustainability #projectmanagement #wildlifeconservation #infrastructure #conservationefforts

Happy World Snake Day! If you are interested in taking a proper venomous snake handling training, take a look at this blog post I wrote.
Whether you're a field ecologist, an avid hiker, or simply live near natural spaces, encountering a snake 🐍 (and giving them some slithery space) is more a matter of "when" than "if". For ecologist and snake enthusiast Brittany Dell, snake encounters are a treasured moment, especially if they are venomous! In celebration of World Snake Day, Brittany shares her experience with venomous snakes from rescue operations in Indonesia to her recent venomous snake training with Save The Snakes in our latest blog!

Did you know that Great Crested Newts (GCN) are protected under British and European law? Individual newts, their eggs, and habitats used for breeding and shelter are legally protected. Because of this, you need a specific licence granted by Natural England to survey for them. 🔎🦎 To establish if a habitat is occupied by Great Crested Newts a survey is required. These surveys can show us presence/absence, population size and individual numbers on a site. There are a number of survey techniques that licenced ecologists can use, including: Refuge searches Egg searches Netting Torching Bottle trapping eDNA A licenced Ecologist will usually use a combination of these techniques when surveying. 🦎 📸 Photo of Great Crested Newt eggs in vegetation by Lizzy Davis. Found as part of a survey by a licenced ecologist. Join us in spring to learn more about Great Crested Newts, and to practice some of the surveying methods.

4moWhat really brought this home for me was the video of the now famous Christopher Solomons (which somehow I had never seen before!). It really demonstrated how early intervention can save lives. Hopefully we will never need to use this knowledge, but it is so, so important we have it. For ourselves, our colleagues and our communities.
