About the event

In this entirely outdoor workshop, we will focus on survey techniques that involve looking for a set of indicator plants for wet and dry heathland types. These species may be positive or negative indicators of the condition of the heathland, and can be monitored over time to assess and inform management, as well as contributing useful records for conservation purposes. Wellington boots are recommended.
