The first section describes how to use the pack and how to implement the training sessions.;There are background notes on the fundamentals of ecology, an introduction to legislation governing wildlife and construction issues, practical guidance on dealing with wildlife on sites, references and a gazetteer of useful organisations. Extensive supporting materials include briefing sheets on individual species and the different types of habitat, toolbox talks and a quiz for training session delegates. The pack is presented in a sturdy ring-binder, and all the presentation and training materials are included on the accompanying CD-ROM. It is intended that the pack be used either for individual study or support, for example by environmental managers, or as a resource by anyone involved in setting up a wildlife training event. A complementary 32-page pocket book (CIRIA C613) is included in the pack, but may also be purchased separately.
