Objective: To develop a group of competent and enthusiastic volunteers trained by an expert who then may train and mentor other volunteers in order to grow the number of trained volunteers able to assess opportunities for new habitats. A training day in Little Meadow NR in readiness for identifying suitable locations for new or existing habitats for the long-term project to create continuous wildlife corridors on both sides of the river in the Goring Gap. Ten GGEO volunteers were tutored by a BBOWT trainer in everything they needed to know to survey a large site to determine its suitability for enhancing it to increase biodiversity. One of the methods of sampling is by using a Quadrat and this was used to record all the species found on the site that day.
