Surveying Trees
This new one-day course aimed at consultants will allow participants to build on knowledge gained at other courses, and will provide an understanding of trees and the techniques needed to survey them effectively. The course will comprise some theoretical classroom sessions and a practical exercise.
By the end of the course participants should be able to: 
- Understand legislation in respect of trees and bat roosts
- Understand use of trees by bats
- Apply recognised survey methods
- Understand H&S requirements for safe tree surveys
- Recognise signs of bat usage in trees
- Evaluate potential tree roosts and record features
- Undertake an initial tree survey for bat roosts and use appropriate survey equipment
Prior knowledge: It is assumed that participants will have attended Bats and Bat Surveys and Surveying Buildings, or have the equivalent skills and knowledge. If you are unsure about whether this course is the appropriate level, please contact Kit Stoner at BCT.
