Tree Planting!!

The Woodland Trust has kindly given us lots of trees to plant to help improve the biodiversity of our hedgerows and woodland areas.

Nine harding working Year 8 pupils from Swanage Middle helped us clear a huge area before we planted about 200 trees!

Thank you to the Wooodland Trust and the Swanage Middle School pupils!

 

 

Kimmeridge Zonation - A Level Biology

Mike has had a couple of hardy groups studying marine zonation at Kimmeridge this week. Bright skies but freezing conditions. Even parts of the waterfall were frozen! Lots of intersting marine organisms were found including the Shore Clingfish Lepadogaster lepadogaster.

Also, Golden Star Tunicate Botryllus schlosseri was also found under the many rocks exposed at low tide.

Snakelocks anemone (Anemonia viridis) The pinky purple tips are due to a symbiotic algae living within the tentacles.
