The Biological Recording Company is working in collaboration with Hammersmith and Fulham Council to deliver a series of free-to-attend biological recording events in 2026. The first of these events was a one-day Biological Recording 101 training course delivered in June 2026. This is being followed by six Field Recorder Day events.
