| In association with Dr. Richard Hartnup (of Hartnup Consultancy) we have been involved in monitoring the condition of some locally rare acid-grassland at 'Croft Hill' SSSI in Leicestershire. The SSSI is an interesting botanical, geological as well as historical feature adjacent to a quarry thought to have existed since Roman times. Vegetation monitoring is providing a comprehensive record of the site's current botanical composition and in particular the presence of a locally scarce population of Upright chickweed (Moenchia erecta). |
