Introduction to Habitat Mapping (Beginners)

The requirements of habitat mapping in the field, such as the allocation of a single identified habitat to an area or linear feature, will be explained. The need for rigour and the approach to deciding boundaries between habitats will be covered. Examples of UKHab maps in different landscapes will be shown and discussed.

All courses are held “live” online unless stated as field courses.

Online courses are held for two 3-hour sessions on successive mornings (10.00-13.00) unless otherwise stated. Participants in the two-morning courses are also asked to complete an hour’s task between the two sessions.

Field courses are normally held on a single day from 10:00 to 16:30. Meeting place details are provided after booking.

Course Levels

Beginners’ courses are suitable for people with no or very little previous experience of habitat survey, including students, new graduates, citizen science participants and environmental consultants returning or switching from other disciplines.

Intermediate courses are suitable for people with some knowledge or experience of habitat survey in other habitat classfications such as Phase 1 Survey. No previous UKHab experience is required, but individuals with a little UKHab experience often choose this level to improve their skills.

Advanced courses are suitable for more experienced professionals with at least a few years experience of habitat survey and wishing to extend skill sets using UKHab in ecological professional practice. An intermediate UKHab course should have been completed first.

Learning objectives for each course are available on the UKHab website.

For CIEEM Members, all UKHab courses can contribute to CPD records. UKHab & Bidiversity Net Gain (Advanced) courses with trainers from the UKHab team are also offered by CIEEM. These can be booked on the CIEEM website.

UKHab Ltd also offers training courses for organisations. These may be standard courses as described on the website or with bespoke content. Please enquire by emailing training@ukhab.org.
