This attractive, highly illustrated mixed-media pack presents information and guidance to enable a wide range of people involved with the construction industry to stay within the law relating to wildlife, and to understand and implement good practice in protecting wildlife on development and construction projects. 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.
