Learn about the role deadwood plays in our ecosystem and the biodiversity is supports
Deadwood is amazing. It plays a big part in nutrient recycling, acts as a carbon storage system, and helps the stability of woodland soil. It is an important micro habitat for birds, mammals, fungi, plants, amphibians, reptiles, insects and even fish! But sadly this habitat is under studied and under threat.
We will use TCV's Dead Good Deadwood survey packet to investigate the sites deadwood habitats. This involves looking at the organisms living on the surface and inside of the wood which then provides a rough estimate on the stage of decay.
There will be opportunities to learn about bugs, fungi and tree identification as we examine the different pieces of deadwood.
