Waxcaps of significance in grasslands
Weds 11th Nov 10am - 2pm
Great Houndtor Farm, Manaton
Waxcaps are a group of fungi generally found in grasslands which are species-rich and nutrient poor such as old meadows or heaths. They are often indicators for higher conservation value, and as part of grazing management, may offer potential for Stewardship options.
This event will help identify waxcaps in the field to understand and inform opportunities.
Beyond the Bounce:

Two Bridges Hotel, Princetown.
Beyond the Bounce offers a chance to explore the results of the Dartmoor ram testing programme. Find out what the data tells us about flock health, resilience and recovery, hear key findings from the project team, and discuss what it means for the future of Dartmoor farming.
