I.B Environmental Systems and Societies - fieldwork in the sun!

A group from Marlborough College studying for their I.B ESS course were rewarded with sunny conditions for fieldwork at Studland and Kimmeridge.

Typical succession investigations were carried out at Studland as well as looking at visitor impact on the dune systems.

At Kimmeridge we looked at calculating species diversity between the mid and lower shores. The tide was perfect and lots of species were recorded.

Fantastic tides at Kimmeridge

At last, decent field work weather!

A busy few weeks....

We've had lots of groups staying with us since the last Blog entry and at last the weather has improved.

Lots of Great Crested Newts are back in the ponds
