CHILTERN WILDLIFE: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE - 1 AUGUST

Date: Friday, 1st August 

Tutor: John Tyler B. A. (Oxon) Zoology; M. Sc. (University College London)  Conservation. Former Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society. Worked for  25 years in nature conservation, including as Warden of the Sevenoaks  Wildlife Reserve in Kent. Author of 'The Glow-worm'. 

Description: We follow the story of the Chilterns from their birth a hundred million years ago,  through ice ages, the growth of forests and the arrival of humans to the present  day, along the way exploring the rich diversity of Chiltern habitats and the wildlife  that they support. 

Then we turn our attention to the future, to some of the threats (and  opportunities) that Chiltern wildlife will face during the 21st century, and what we  can do to help. 

Finally, weather permitting, we will visit the Common to look for some of the  species featured in the course.

Student requirements: Please wear appropriate footwear in anticipation of a walk  on the Common, weather permitting.
