In collaboration with the Dorset Flora Group, there are two planned Botany Blitz days at Rempstone Estate this year. Members of the Purbeck Natural History Forum are invited to join this event.
Rempstone estate is managed jointly by Forestry England and private ownership. Over the past 15 years, much of the Forestry England land has undergone significant restoration, transitioning from extensive conifer plantation to heathland and mire habitats. Due to its history of being a private estate and partly plantation, Rempstone has been relatively under-recorded for several species groups, including vascular plants. These visits aim to improve our understanding of the site’s botanical interest and contribute valuable records to ongoing monitoring efforts and management.
Across the two days, Saturday the 30 of May, and Saturday the 1st of August, we hope to survey a range of habitats, including valley mire, wet and dry heathland, bare ground and acid grassland. If you want to join this event, please register below.
More information on the day will be send out closer to date.
