A programme of new training courses for 2008 has been released by the RSPB.  Most of these courses, which cover the creation and management of a wide range of habitats, are not specifically focussed on mineral sites, but many of the techniques are directly transferable. 

One exception is the 'Reedbed design, creation and management for the minerals industry' course, which will be held in Cambridgeshire on 24/25 June.

So if you'd like to learn how to manage heathlands, woodlands or grasslands take a look at the attached PDF leaflet and get yourself booked on to the course of your choice while places last!
