Free webinars
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 present on their area of expertise, and to answer questions from the audience.
Our upcoming webinars are listed below. All our webinars are recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel.
