Should Your Airport Staff Participate in Advanced Wildlife and BASH Training?

Every year Loomacres Wildlife Management holds its Advanced Wildlife and BASH Training with a focus on advanced techniques. The course is designed to improve your skills in wildlife management and make your airport a safer place! This training is ideal for any airport operator who is implementing a wildlife management program, is involved with wildlife management, or would like to make a management program more effective.

Seminars will be conducted on many wildlife management topics that will be followed by extended Q and A periods. Classroom sessions will be augmented with extensive "hands-on" training. Students will all get a chance to practice the techniques we will be teaching. In addition to hands-on training, the multi-day design of this course also allows us to cover all aspects of wildlife hazards at airports. This course will be taught by experienced airport biologists with diverse backgrounds.

This course is approved by the FAA to fulfill the training requirements for an airport wildlife biologist conducting wildlife hazard assessments under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 139 and FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200-36A. Training of this type is required for biologists who wish to write airport wildlife assessments or conduct airport wildlife training sessions. The course also meets the requirements for qualified biologists that need to renew their FAA qualifications.
