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. To learn more
