The Low Barns Volunteer Task Force

17th June 2009

A good, but damp, day out for the volunteers visiting Rainton Meadows for a GPS training day. A classroom session in the morning was followed by a practical session in the afternoon where newly learnt skills were put into practice in the field mapping some of the habitats at Rainton Meadows.
