Setting up quadrats
Not too much on the agenda today. I had a call with Emma in the morning to discuss some of the next plans for Dursley Code Club, and what I’ll do over the summer and next term.
In the afternoon, I headed over to Church Field to prepare the quadrats for the botanical survey tomorrow. We have 29 quadrats which are re-surveyed every year, so we wanted to put flags at correct GPS locations.
It’s a bit fiddly to get the Northing/Eastling coordinates correct, especially on a phone GPS. Many times I located the right line, took a compass bearing and then strode confidently off in the opposite direction.
But we managed to get all out in about an hour or so, so well worth getting the ground ready before the surveyors arrive in the morning.
