To meet the growing demand for subject-specific and relevant GIS training courses Westcountry Rivers Trust have developed a series of intensive GIS short-courses specifically tailored to develop and disseminate best practice and technical GIS skills in the use of GIS, in practitioners engaged in catchment management planning, landscape ecology, fisheries science, river restoration, ecology and conservation biology. To support or enhance the delivery of face-to-face training the Westcountry Rivers Trust have also developed an online GIS training resource: EcoSpatial Training.
