Field Studies Council (FSC)

FSC run a wide variety of Natural History courses at their field centres spread throughout the nicer parts of England and Wales.

FSC also publish identification handbooks (including the highly accessible "AIDGAP" series) and they have taken over the professional-level "Synopses of the British Fauna" from the Linnean Seciety. They also act as agents for the Royal Entomological Society Handbooks (also professional level).

At the time of writing (Oct 07), some FSC publications are offered under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works licence.
