New HIA training videos now online
Eight new Habitat Impact Assessment (HIA) training videos are now available online on the recently added training page on the ADMG website.

The Best Practice Guides on HIA aim to enable land managers to design, collect and interpret habitat data to inform deer management.

These short video clips have been prepared to provide a quick reminder of HIA techniques in the field. This resource is intended to complement the current suite of Best Practice Guidance and is aimed at those who have already undertaken HIA training and are familiar with the methodology and principles.

These are the first modules, with more to follow, and cover subjects including:
  • Understanding the principles of Habitat Impact Assessment and planning
  • Fieldwork: locating and setting out the plot
  • Fieldwork: recording basic plot information
  • Fieldwork: measuring dwarf shrub height
  • Fieldwork: assessing browsing impacts
  • Fieldwork: assessing trampling impacts
  • Fieldwork: recording additional information
Scottish Land & Estates – Helping it Happen Awards
These awards are free to enter and showcase the work done in 2019/20 by businesses, farms and estates to help rural Scotland thrive. This is an excellent platform for DMGs to promote their work - as West Ross DMG showed with its success in the 2019 awards.
 
Suitable categories for DMGs might be the Conservation Award sponsored by Anderson Strathern, or the Enhancing our Environment Award sponsored by SNH.
 
The deadline is very tight now however and entries must be received by Wednesday 5 August 2020.
 
More information about the SLE Helping it Happen Awards is available at https://www.scottishlandandestates.co.uk/helping-it-happen
