Shore Thing survey on Saturday 29th October 2011

.

Come and learn about marine life at Jennycliff beach near Plymouth! We will be carrying out a survey of the rocky shore which will include native and non-native or invasive species! We will also be doing a beach clean. The data that we collect will be used by the Marine Biological Association to monitor important species and change on our rocky shores.

See http://www.marlin.ac.uk/shore_thing/ for more information about Shore Thing.

Acorn collection and planting to produce new oak trees!

We had a great time out with Moor Trees at their nursery collecting acorns and then planting them in their beds. We can't wait for them to grow and then plant them out in a few years!


Wow Hayley! You have collected a lot of acorns!!! ...Or did you have some help?? ;-)

Acorn collecting

Sunday 23rd October 9:30 - 16:30: Plymouth Environmental Action (PEA) are going to South Brent (just outside of Plymouth) where we will be acorn collecting for a local charity called Moor Trees. Acorns will be harvested by us and then they will be dried and kept cool during the winter and then potted up in Autumn next year to produce new oak trees for planting native woodland!
