Registration

Persons interested in participating should in the first instance complete the registration form and send it to the meeting Secretary. Thanks to support from the UK Darwin Initiative, and every effort being made to minimize costs to participants, a nominal registration fee of only £30 per participant will be payable on arrival. The registration fee will contribute to the cost of organizing the meeting, of lunches and morning and afternoon refreshments, and of transport for the field excursion.
