Biodiversity Training and Webinars

Regular upskilling and training is essential for effective Councils. All Councillors need to be aware of the importance of biodiversity and their duty under Section 6. To help your Council develop the knowledge and skills required we run regular webinars and training sessions.

Training Modules

We offer 3 modules specific to biodiversity as part of our training menu at One Voice Wales. These are delivered by our team of excellent Training Associates. These courses are very popular so book now!

Please see our training pages for more information and details of how to book.

Module 25 & 26

Biodiversity basics Part 1 and 2. A two-part course teaching Councils the basics of biodiversity, nature recovery and ecology need to make good decisions and effective Biodiversity Action Plans. It follows the same ‘5 pillars of biodiversity’ as introduced in the guidance document. After attending this course, Councils will be better placed to write robust BAPs and Section 6 Reports and meet that Section 6 duty of biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
Produced in partnership with Cynnal Cymru.

Module 27

Nature Project Management – A course delivered over 1 session that demonstrates the basics of project management in the context of nature and environmental projects. Handouts will include a project checklist for Councils to help them manage projects in line with Biodiversity principles, on time and within budget. It is hoped that all Councils that attend this course will have already attended the Biodiversity Basics Course first.
