One aspect of preparing for the new course will be to learn a whole range of new natural history vocabulary.
This may come from a whole range of sources, including an approved textbook which is no doubt taking shape somewhere.
Others may include lectures. A recent GA Tyne and Wear Branch poster featured the word depauperate in the details of a lecture on ecosystems. I'd never heard of it before..
Turns out it will probably be quite useful when describing some urban environments.
