Introduction to Reptile and Amphibian Ecology and Conservation

This course introduces the indigenous reptile and amphibian species in the United Kingdom. There will be a practical look at the conservation of these species. The impacts and management of introduced species will also be examined. Attendance on this course will contribute to obtaining a survey licence in the future.

Peter Hill grew up on the southern heaths and has been passionate about our native herpetofauna since childhood. Having lived in south Wales for the past few years Peter has identified a desperate need to raise awareness regarding reptiles and amphibians, and protect and preserve their habitat. When he isn't out looking for native herpetofauna, Peter works as a Development Officer for BTCV Cymru. Peter holds a current CCW/HCT licence to work with all protected herpetofauna species in Wales.
