The Mountain Environment with
Jim Langley
The upland environment is a fascinating place where relict arctic alpine flower communities exist at the very edge of their world distribution in amongst open grasslands. These communities are found in places inaccessible to grazing sheep and often share a home with species commonly associated with woodland environments. The influence of human activities will also be a theme during the day.
Bring: walking boots, waterproof jacket, water proof trousers & warm clothes.
Fee: £45 (reduced fee £20 - download
