Changing the focus - wildlife recording during lockdown

 

The 2020 conference was an online event that took place on Friday 23rd October.

The aim was to concentrate on some positive aspects of lockdown on wildlife recording, learning how individuals and organisations adapted in the changing circumstances. The conference concluded with our AGM.

Our previously advertised conference Outside the Honeypot: wildlife recording in the urban world has been rescheduled for 2021.
