The Field Studies Council has been demystifying Britain’s natural environment for 70 years and its publications have always played a vital part. Three generations of wildlife enthusiasts and conservation professionals have learned about the UK’s plants and animals on Field Studies Council courses and honed their skills with Field Studies Council publications.
There are now more than 70 of the handy fold-out charts, and a growing series of AIDGAP Guides - intended to help identify difficult groups of plants and animals and to be suitable for non-specialists. The catalogue is complemented by more specialised titles such as the Royal Entomological Society Handbooks on British insects, and wildlife distribution atlases produced for the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology’s Biological Records Centre.
