@ynuorg.bsky.socialAlways a pleasure to have @teamneyedc.bsky.social along to support the Leeds University MSc training day and for promoting the role of biological recorders
@teamneyedc.bsky.socialReposted by @ynuorg.bsky.socialWe attended this year's Leeds University MSc field skills day last week, delivering a talk on making and sharing records alongside taxon experts from @ynuorg.bsky.social sharing their expertise in ID and specimen collection. It was great to chat to the new students and see their enthusiasm!
@ynuorg.bsky.socialThe next YNU Zoom Talk will be held at 7pm on Tuesday 6th October, where Francis Hickenbottom will introduce us to the Wakefield Peregrine Project and tell us more about the latest updates, stories, and stunning moments from the nest. The event link can be found here: www.ynu.org.uk/news-events/...
@teamneyedc.bsky.socialReposted by @ynuorg.bsky.socialAs part of her placement, Elizabeth has written two blog posts, the first of which is live on our website: www.neyedc.org.uk/updates-insi.... This first piece introduces us to the concept of place-names, where they come from, and how they relate to woodlands! 2/2
@teamneyedc.bsky.socialReposted by @ynuorg.bsky.socialOver the last few months we've had Elizabeth, Language and Linguistic Science PhD student at the University of York, join us to investigate how place-names can strengthen the evidence base for Ancient Woodland designation, using her expertise on place-names in the medieval period. 1/2 🌳

@ynuorg.bsky.socialThank you @bogtrotter2024.bsky.social - after packaging issues earlier in the year we're hoping the printers will stick with the recyclable corrugated cardboard and will pass your message on 😀
