The Botanical Wonders of the Moulton College Estate!


Working with the Society of Biology, Moulton College staff and students from the BSc Arboriculture and BSc Land Management programmes organised a ‘bioblitz’ event to document the different wild plant species found growing on the estate. Senior lecturers James Littlemore and Adrian Stockdale were capably assisted by expert botanist Brian Laney, a county recorder for wildlife and whose encyclopaedic knowledge of all British plant species came in very handy on the walk. Many new records were found and the grand total of 104 plant species excluding trees and shrubs shows what can be found with a little determination in what is a late period for vegetation surveys.
