On behalf of the organizing committee we are pleased to invite you to the 2nd All-Ireland Pine Marten Symposium to be held at Ti Chulainn Community and Conference Centre on the 14th and 15th October 2016.
This two-day meeting has been organized to build on the success of the first meeting held in Galway during 2014 and bring together advances in research, practical conservation and management techniques for this enigmatic species.
We hope this meeting will appeal to the following:
• pine marten researchers e.g. third level institution staff and students
• practical conservation organisations e.g. VWT, UWT etc
• land managers e.g. Forest Service, Coillte, NIEA/NPWS
• environmental consultants
• anyone with an interest in pine marten!
Day One
The first day of the event will be focused on 15-minute talks by those involved in research, conservation and management of the species.
Day Two
The second day will involve a field trip to visit the pine marten den box scheme within the Ring of Gullion. This will be followed by practical sessions to demonstrate techniques for erecting pine marten den boxes.
Please see below the full agenda.
