To undertake the broad range of tasks important to manage wildlife in the field it is critical to have knowledge of and skills to be able to correctly identify wildlife, and safely collect, record, analyse and present field data. This knowledge and these skills plus an understanding field study design, and limitations of the design, and the data, will be developed during this course.

During this field trip different wildlife management survey techniques will be set up for actual wildlife studies, data collected and analysed, with their strengths and limitations discussed. Within these wildlife management survey techniques a range of equipment will be used, skills developed in their use, and methods to record and display the outcomes of the wildlife studies developed. These wildlife management techniques, associated equipment and presentation methods will be used in later courses. To gain these skills students must attend a mandatory one week field trip.

This course contains a mandatory residential school.
