What's on

These events pages detail the various local and national events that the BAS is either organising or attending throughout the year. These activities are divided into several categories above. Events are organised at either by BAS Council (national events) or by the BAS Regional Coordinators and local Mentors throughout England, Scotland and Wales.

In 2022 we hope to start to return to a more normal programme of events and courses as it becomes safe to do so. We are already advertising the first batch of courses organised by the Field Studies Council with BAS tutors - contact details are given for each event and more details for many of them will be available nearer the time. Other events will be added through the year, as they are organised - please keep an eye on these pages. Please note that our Annual General Meeting will once again be held by Zoom.

  • Arboreal Harvestmen

    Learn about the harvestmen species of the UK found on vegetation with Meg Skinner.

    This entoLEARN webinar will explore UK species of vegetation-dwelling harvestmen. These species use their long legs and sensory adaptations to navigate bark, leaves, and canopy vegetation. Many species are camouflaged or patterned to blend with their surroundings, feeding on small invertebrates, fungi, and plant material. Adapted to life above ground, they often have specialised claws and flattened bodies for gripping and hiding in crevices.
