BEC Consultants provides training courses in botany and ecology to Local Authorities and other large organisations. Courses can be tailored to suit participants’ requirements. Topics we can cover include plant identification, introduction to ecology, food webs, nutrient cycles, habitats, bryophytes, lichens, biodiversity and conservation. We can also cover other topics by prior arrangement, in consultation with participants.

BEC Consultants staff are experienced environmental educators, having provided ecological workshops on behalf of the National Biodiversity Data Centre. Our existing courses include:

• Introduction to Botany
• Introduction to Lichens
• Introduction to Upland Habitats (Field Course, Wicklow Mountains)
• Classification of Irish Woodland Communities
• Classification of Irish Semi-natural Grasslands
• Vegetation Analysis

Courses usually run for one day but this is flexible.
