The above-titled course was held today at nearby Winthorpe, with an afternoon excursion around Langford Lowfields.
The course was run by RSPB National Wetlands Advisor Nick Droy and Biodiversity Projects Officer Jane Sears. Nick and Jane presented the findings of the Bringing Reedbeds to Life Wildlife Survey Programme, which was funded by Natural England.
The survey has looked at five different reedbed sites around the country, looking at the non-avian fauna that this habitat supports. Nick and Site Manager Michael Copleston also imparted the latest thinking on reedbed creation and management.
The 26 delegates from organisations such as Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, Natural England and On Trent, then got to see landscape-scale habitat creation in action, at Langford's Phase 1 reedbed area.
