TELL US WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN
Records
of wildlife are of no use if they never see the light of day. Most
people are happy to see a beautiful, rare or unusual plant or animal,
without ever thinking that their observation could be of any use.
But in fact, virtually all our knowledge of wildlife in Britain comes
from ordinary people reporting what they have seen. It is the one
area of science where the amateur is king, and can help to preserve this
important part of our national heritage.
If you would like to help record wildlife at Marshalls
Heath, then please telephone, write or Email John Murray. His
telephone numbers is 01582 833544, address: “Field End”, Marshalls
Heath, Wheathampstead, Herts AL4 8HS, Email: j.b.murray@open.ac.uk
There is a strong need for more bird enthusiasts, botanists and anyone
with an interest in fungi, as well as the less well-studied
invertebrates.
FRIENDS OF MARSHALLS HEATH
The
Friends of Marshalls Heath is a group of local people, presently
numbering 40, who aim to maintain the wildlife diversity at Marshalls
Heath, to monitor and record the species there, to raise awareness of
the value of our environment and to protect the Heath from development
and other detrimental effects on the wildlife. The group is
free of charge, so if you would like to join and receive information on
events and activities, then telephone, write or Email John Murray on j.b.murray@open.ac.uk
