Students in the second year of the full-time and combined study of the Game Management and Wildlife Conservation program took part in a three-day field excursion, which was part of the subjects Impact of Management in the Landscape on animal populations and Monitoring of wild animals. The students started the first day in Ratenice, where a talk was held on managing small animals and possible landscape modifications, focusing on hares. The next stop was the forests near Strakonice. Here, in the field, students learned the management of property affected by the bark beetle calamity and the possibilities of protecting forest culture, and the first day ended with night monitoring of rodents and smaller mammals with prof. Jaroslav Červený. The second day took place in the Bohemian Forest National Park, where we focused on revitalizing peatlands, managing habitats with the presence of black grouse, and the possibility of retaining water in the landscape. After this excursion, the students visited the wolf enclosure in Srní. The visit also included a talk about wolves in the Bohemian Forest National Park. On the last day, there was a visit to the Sedlice nature preserve with a demonstration of game management and a talk lecture on the history of the nature preserve. The last stop was the Lány nature preserve, where a parade of the past year's shed of antlers occurred.
