Join Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre on the 10th February 2024 for the 33rd Annual Sussex Biological Recorders’ Seminar, at our usual venue Oathall Community College, Haywards Heath, from 10am to 3pm. The Sussex Biological Recorders’ Seminar provides a unique opportunity to meet other people from Sussex’s wildlife recording groups, natural history societies and local conservation groups.

This year we have a range of talks including Graeme Lyons on surveying the Brighton downland estate, and Dr Sam Kelly on engaging a community with adder conservation. Daryl Peters will share his experiences camera trapping in and around Worthing, and Sussex Wildlife Trust’s Living Seas Officer Sarah Ward on the FISH INTEL project to understand the movements of fish around the Sussex IFCA Nearshaw Trawling Bylaw area (and beyond!). We’re also delighted to have James Power launching his book ‘The Bees of Sussex’ (don’t forget to pre-order your copy!), and Iona Cunningham-Eurich from the Big Wasp Survey talking about engaging citizen scientists with surveying an undervalued insect group.

This year we are thrilled to offer a vegetarian buffet lunch option from Seven Sisters Spices, or you can bring your own lunch if you prefer. If you have any dietary restrictions or preferences please list these in the ‘food options’ box, or email [email protected] so we can make sure these are catered for. Light refreshments will be available.

You are also invited to bring a stand for your organisation or group, as there will be lots of opportunity to socialise and catch-up with fellow recorders. Please book this separately using this form: https://www.cognitoforms.com/SxBRC/DisplayStandBookingForm
