EcoSoc is one of the largest societies on campus, and aims to give everyone the opportunity to learn about nature, experience Cornish wildlife, gain skills in ecology and conservation, help local projects and raise the profile of wildlife to everyone. We have lots of different events to get involved with, such as moth trapping, mammal trapping, bird walks, bat walks, ID sessions, habitat management and socials. We also work with outside organisations such as Kernow Conservation to provide practical work experience for our members, and often collaborate with other societies.

Once you are a member, message us on Instagram or send us an email from your uni email address, and we'll be able to add you to our WhatsApp group chat.
