Countryside management students
continue to look for signs of life in the college hedgerows. Having identified
the value of the college hedgerows in previous weeks, the group set out to find
what insects the farm hedgerows were supporting. The students set five pitfall
traps at five very different hedgerows so they could compare the results and
calculate the value of each of the hedgerows.
Tom managed to dig up part of an
old chain-harrow as he set his pitfall trap which led to a group discussion on
what they would do if they dug up an historical artefact such as a pot of roman
coins. While no decision was made on what the group would do if they did make
such a discovery it was agreed that an unexploded second world war bomb was the
item they would least want to dig up…..
