OVA Field Trip to Braunton Burrows
Saturday June 20th
Coach leaves Budleigh Salterton at 8:30am
Braunton Burrows is the largest sand dune system in the UK. It hosts an extraordinarily diverse plant community, with over 400 recorded species of plants. This in turn means that there are also a great variety of associated invertebrate species. Its uniqueness and biodiversity is recognised in its designation as both a National Nature Reserve and as a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
Our visit will be led by Dr Tegwyn Harris, biologist from Exeter University, who gave us a talk about Braunton Burrows last year.
This is a whole day outing and there are still a few tickets available.
More details and application form are in the April newsletter
