The Low Barns Volunteer Task Force
Low Barns: Woodland Ecology Training Day
12th November 2008

Sue and Kara arrived from Rainton Meadows with a busload of volunteers to give us the low down on the creatures that love to live in dead wood. And in the afternoon we built the Hilton Hotel of habitat piles so there is now a very plush invertebrate pad in a glade at Low Barns.
