Grasslands Management Surveying and Monitoring Practical Course
There is an urgent need to monitor the wildlife value of grasslands and effectiveness of management. Grasslands are a priority habitat due to their fragility within succession. If they are not managed properly they will change their characteristics and floristic diversity very quickly. It has been recognised that certain species indicate floristic diversity whilst others indicate a positive or negative effect of management and these species could be used to monitor sites. This course will look at the basic identification of grasses, a practical solution to surveying and monitoring grasslands to ensure limited resources are being used effectively. Leader: Andy May:
