This self study course on Great Crested Newts provides a comprehensive introduction to the species, its ecology and how to survey for them.
Great Crested Newts are widespread across lowland England and occupy a range of habitats, in rural, suburban and urban areas. Although they breed in ponds, they spend much of their life on land. They are also fully protected by law. Great crested newts are commonly present on development sites or during vegetation clearance. Therefore it is important that ecologists and land managers know how to survey for them and have a good understanding of their ecology. This course is a good basis for gaining a survey licence (experience also required).
