Self-isolating? Unable to get out in the field or to the office as usual? Why not take advantage of this time to brush up on your recording and analysis skills (and get some grown-up conversation if you’ve got kids at home!). 

During the COVID-19 pandemic Wildlife Acoustics will be running a program of online events to help keep you sane. We’re starting with some free training courses and drop-in sessions. Be sure to visit our website as we are adding more trainings weekly.
