Talk about the deterioration of high moor habitats.
N.B. the date for this talk has been amended from Mar 1st to Mar 8th due to weather concerns.
Adrian Colston was the General Manager for the National Trust on Dartmoor and is now a PhD student at Exeter University. He will talk about the effect of atmospheric pollution and grazing on Dartmoor’s commons. In particular Adrian will ask why, in the light of the overwhelming evidence about atmospheric pollution, it is overgrazing and over-burning that are still blamed for the deterioration of our upland habitats.
