Quadrat
Day.
All 3 schools on our site - infant, junior
and secondary - joined forces to map 5 areas of our woodland. Before we could take the children, teachers had to take part in a training morning and learn how to measure the first quadrant and plot the positions of the major trees. A few weeks later the children were taken down to the woods to complete the 4 other sites. Secondary pupils worked alongside infants
and juniors to measure out a 10-metre square and then plot the positions,
diameter and name of each tree inside the quadrat. Each tree was labeled
and the final maps can be seen on the Priestlands website.
