Would you like to learn how to undertake a plant survey? We are currently updating the 2009 ground and tree survey and are looking for volunteers to help.
This work is being co-ordinated by Lear Associates. We would also like to add in the shrubs to ensure that when we are looking at new planting and looking at sightlines we take them into account. Bev Lear from Lear Associates will provide training and supervision and then set you up to complete the survey.
We will have two training sessions on 7th October, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. We need 3 volunteers for each session (6 volunteers in total). You only need to attend one of the sessions. Then on 8th October both teams of volunteers will begin the survey with Bev's help.
After that we hope that you will be able to complete any outstanding areas under your own steam and Bev will come back at the end of October if needed to deal with any outstanding issues, idents etc.
If you would like to volunteer for this opportunity please contact me.
