Field Studies Council is an environmental education charity that is best known for providing residential and day field trips to biology and geography students. However, they also offer online courses on a number of topics, from marine mammals to reptiles and fungi. 

Currently, they have spots available for their 3-week course on otters in the UK. The course explores their evolutionary past, biology, habitats, and behaviour through to how we can monitor and survey for them.

First webinar: late January
Price: £45

I am an interdisciplinary researcher with a background in environmental social sciences and humanities, interested in sustainability and environmental protection. My areas of expertise range from environmental history to human geography, from environmental law & policies to environmental management. In recent years, my work has focused on human-nature relationships in water environments and water management (more specifically related to flood risk). Currently, I am wrapping up my PhD while working as visiting researcher in Sweden. 

I am also passionate about animal welfare and ethology and over the years I have had the opportunity to support projects studying wild horses, salmon, beavers and orcas for a number of environmental organisations.
