New Year, New Skills!
Whether you’re brushing up on field techniques, strengthening your data skills, or adding GIS to your toolkit, now is a great time to invest in your professional development.
Why training matters
From field surveys to data analysis, strong technical skills help us:
- Make better decisions
- Communicate results clearly
- Deliver credible environmental work
Our upcoming training covers everything from R and time-series analysis to species identification, wetlands, soils, and QGIS. We have a range of options for field-based, online, and flexible learning.
Turn data into insight – strengthen your ability to analyze trends, assess impacts, and support evidence-based decisions.
Check out the Time Series Trend Analysis & Quantitative Environmental Impact Assessments, Introduction to Statistics for Ecology using R, Introduction to R Software and Data Manipulation & Visualization in R courses.
Field ecology skills – strengthen your field expertise by improving species identification, habitat assessment, and survey techniques.
Brush up on your Amphibian Identification & Survey Techniques or explore Field Ornithology: Bird ID & Survey Skills through Sound.
Habitat assessment – understand habitats on the ground by building applied skills for soil and wetland description in the field.
Gain confidence with our Field Soil Description & Classification Course and Introduction to Describing Wetlands in the Field.
Spatial skills – develop practical GIS skills using free, open-source QGIS

Not to mention our 10th Series of CREDtalks with the Kootenay Conservation Program starts January 22nd! This year we’re exploring ‘Lessons for the next chapter of Restoration & Stewardship in the Columbia Basin’ with a brilliant line up of speakers. We’ll be diving into the importance of Traditional Knowledge in scientific monitoring and covering topics such as cottonwoods, grasslands and beaver mimicry for wetland restoration. Thank you to our generous sponsors for allowing us to offer this FREE learning opportunity. Register for CREDtalks here.
Here’s to another year of exciting training opportunities!
