Monitoring for nature

About Monitoring for nature

Come and take part in a biological survey across the  range of beautiful properties that make up the Black  Down Estate in Surrey and West Sussex. You will spend  most of the holiday learning plant identification skills  and surveying the local meadows and heaths.  Training will be provided by the rangers making this  holiday ideal for those of any level of ability, we will  teach you all you need to know. Your survey results  make a real difference, they help us monitor changes  and influence how we manage these wonderful  habitats in the long term.
