Last weekend, eighteen Sydenham Biology A level pupils completed two days of fieldwork at Juniper Hall Field Study Centre with Dr. Hill and Mr. Hurst. They developed their analytical fieldwork skills, using quadrats to investigate the effect of various environmental factors on the abundance and distribution of plants in the woods, hills, and grasslands around beautiful Box Hill, Surrey. The pupils also performed some animal studies, catching a jumping, yellow-necked mouse using humane traps and investigating the favoured habitat-type choice of woodlice. It was a full-on schedule, and we are pleased to know that the girls had a fabulous campfire to toast some marshmallows on the evening. We are grateful for Dr. Hill and Mr. Hurst for creating such a memorable experience for our biologists.
