Training Videos and Powerpoints
How to Observe training modules:
Modules are available as Powerpoint presentation files and as short movies. Click on the thumbnails below to access the videos. Powerpoint files are intended for training workshops. Scripts are provided in the "Notes" field within Powerpoint.
PLEASE NOTE: Our observation methods have changed for our last four videos (Recording Plant Observations, Recording Animal Observations, Reporting Animal Observations and Reporting Plant Observations). The powerpoints detailing these changes are up, however the videos are not. We hope to have these videos up shortly.
