Snakes in the Heather - Citizen Science & Operations Officer availability

This page is for Snakes in the Heather project partner organisation staff and Reptile Surveyors to view my availability for ease of scheduling site meetings or video calls:

Video calls are booked via Microsoft Teams (or alternatively Zoom on request).
Support video calls for Reptile Surveyors are to help with any technical issues and provide guidance for surveys. These are up to 30 minute one-to-one video call depending on your needs – please email me to schedule your preferred time-slot with a brief outline of the support you require.
Site meetings will follow the latest COVID-19 guidance and risk assessments.
Social events are an opportunity to share your herp and wildlife stories and experiences, ask general questions, and get to know other SitH volunteers and partner organisation staff - drop-in anytime during the session.

Best wishes,
Ben
