About this event

Event lasts 4 hours

Join Dr Elizabeth Cooke and Dr Andrew Kearsey as they outline species recovery work Plantlife has delivered over the last 3 years for Pasqueflower and Purple Milk Vetch, across the Chilterns, Cotswolds, Yorkshire Wolds and at Brockadale Nature reserve. We’ll look at the methods and how they can be adapted for other species.

The session will cover:

Rationale and theory behind species recovery
Practical methods of creating bare ground
Practical demonstration (TBD)
Assessment of existing species translocation work at Brockadale
Discussion of future species recovery work and where bare ground creation is appropriate.
