There are a few places available on these Saturday day-schools taking place in February (maximum 10) :-

An introduction to this fascinating group of snail-killers. Radical wetland assessment species. Wow!

Saturday 14 February 98 - Ground Beetles
Also suitable for people wishing to start out on this easily-recognised group, with plenty of scope. Mmmm!
Tutor: Alan Lazenby
Saturday 28 February 98 - Centipedes and Woodlice
Easy to find, a new set of keys, no pinning, a ubiquitous pair of unrelated ground invertebrates with serious conservation applications. Great! What more could you want!
Tutor: Paul Richards
All at the Sheffield City Museum and Mappin Art Gallery, 10.30 am. to 4.30 pm. Each day-school costs £12 and is suitable for people who want to spend a day getting stuck in to a new group of invertebrates. No previous knowledge is required for these introduction courses. Each participant has his/her own bench space, use of a stereomicroscope and access to collections.
