A Rainforest Down My Road

A Talk by Ecologist Harry Munt on the species and unique characteristics of Britain's very own miniature rainforest: chalk downland.

Far from the rolling hills of the Congo or the humid cradle of the Amazon sits a different kind of rainforest: a miniature one. Boasting up to 40 plants per square meter with giant daisies and tower-block viper's bugloss chalk downland is sometimes nicknamed Britain's miniature rainforest.

This talk will explore the ecology seasons and unique properties of this and other chalkland habitats through the eyes of Harry Munt who's spent over five years working with them.
