Aquatic Invertebrate Course Information



Welcome to the pages of my site for students on one of my Flatford courses.
If you have not applied for a course and would like information on costs etc.
please click on the Field Studies Council logo to the left.





These pages give students some internet links which may provide useful background information prior to attending one of my courses. Extra information on the course, which is not in the FSC leaflet, is also available here. More content may be added in due course so please revisit from time to time.
