John Easton, vice-chairman of Warwickshire Amphibian and Reptile Team, said: "In order to conserve great crested newts effectively it is vital that we identify the ponds in which they breed. To do this we very much need willing volunteers to help out with survey work."
The training session takes place at Brandon Marsh Nature Centre in Brandon Lane, near Coventry, on April 30, from 3pm until 10pm.
