Curlews are caught in the crossfire of many of the conservation debates in the UK including: predator control, forestry, and agricultural practices. These topics can be complex and emotive and therefore at times difficult to discuss openly. In our free webinar series Conservation: lessons from the Curlew, Curlew Action is working to address these topics by inviting expert speakers to join in discussion with our Director, Mary Colwell.
webinar: Curlews and meadows
Tuesday 6th June 18:30-20:00
Curlews need open spaces to nest and raise their chicks, they need a mosaic of long and short grass for chicks to hide and feed on insects and other invertebrates. Meadows can be a great place for Curlew to nest and can support a range of other species as well. How can we increase the number of meadows in the UK and what impact will this have?

webinar: Curlews on the move
Wednesday 13th September 18:30-20:00
The UK is of international importance to Eurasian Curlew, it is home to 25% of the global breeding population and during the winter months are shorelines play host to thousands of Curlew and other shorebirds who have migrated here to escape the colder winters elsewhere. How do they know where to go? How do we know where they are going? Do headstarted Curlew behave in the same way?

webinar: Curlews on the coast
Wednesday 18th October 18:30-20:00
The UK is of international importance to Eurasian Curlew, we are home to 25% of the global breeding population and during the winter months are shorelines play host to thousands of Curlew and other shorebirds who have migrated here to escape the colder winters elsewhere. How is climate change impacting these vital coastal sites? Is coastal development a serious threat to Curlew?
