Year 2

Hello, all.

I've been busy as I'm on year 2 of my conservation diploma. I believe it's week 4 so far. Already completed 2 large survey report assignments, one on coastal habitat characteristics (shingle and saltmarsh), and the other a detailed look at the college's lake (lentic ecology, habitat characteristics, chemical composition, and so forth). Currently working on a report on changes to the agricultural landscape, discussing policies and impacts.

Been out to Studland twice now, looking at a range of coastal habitats and doing some walk-up and NVC surveys. Also went to Hayling Island for the coastal unit.



Going well so far, I think. Got my second work placement already sorted out for January, ahead on assignments and also written my personal statement for degree ahead of schedule and almost finished application.
