An Eye for Plant Identification!

In the original course design of the Foundation Degree in Countryside & Wildlife Management, employers emphasised the importance of sound wildlife identification skills. With this in mind, a specific module was created to enable students to improve their botanical skills.

This week students took a trip out to Crowfields Common Local Nature Reserve in the village to examine the development of the wildflower planting that was seeded some years ago. Even given the time of year, some interesting species were appearing including cowslip, bird's foot trefoil and knapweed.

Students from Moulton will have involvement with the management of this site from September, so watch out for more news soon!
