Bespoke Wildlife Tracking Courses

(University Students).

​

Our bespoke Wildlife Tracking & Fieldcraft courses give university students hands-on training in real-world ecological skills, from reading animal spoor and interpreting behaviour to understanding habitat use and movement patterns across wild landscapes. Designed for conservation, ecology, zoology and photography students, these immersive field sessions combine traditional tracking knowledge with modern field techniques, helping students build confidence outdoors while deepening their understanding of wildlife ecology. Whether you’re preparing for field research, aiming to strengthen your species ID and behavioural observation skills, or learning how to approach and photograph animals ethically, our courses offer practical experience that textbooks simply can’t provide.

​
