Research & surveys

The Trust conducts original applied science. Our ecological studies are field-based, and published in peer-reviewed journals.

An independent Scientific Advisory Committee, which reports to elected trustees, is responsible for maintaining the high scientific standard of our research. Research projects are funded by membership subscriptions, donations, sponsorship and research contracts. Steering committees with outside advisors and trustees guide the direction of the research programme.
