Progress so far

After lots of planning we are now well underway with the woodland surveying. This is based on the Plantlife Rapid Rainforest Assessment forms, with extra information being gathered about mammals and birds. As well as assessing the species of trees in the woodland it also covers veteran trees, rocky features, indicator species for lichens, ferns and liverworts and herbivore damage.

It’s quite slow to start with as we get used to all the questions, but we’ve now found our feet and are cracking on with it. There is a huge amount to do so if you would like to join us then get in touch! You don’t need to be an expert as just having an extra pair of eyes with us is hugely helpful.

The great thing about this part of the project is that we are discovering amazing places right here in Oban.
