Strategic Priorities
A review was undertaken in 2012 to assess the strategic priorities for non-native species training in Britain. Read more on the work of the Non-native Species Training subgroup.
E-learning
With funding from Defra, the NNSS has developed a series of free e-learning modules for use by government and stakeholders. Modules currently include:
- an introduction to non-native species
- identification and recording
- identification of key freshwater plants
- identification of key freshwater invertebrates
- identification of key riparian plants
- biosecurity
