Day 4

 Today we set out into glen rosa to meet up with Corinna a local national trust for scotland ranger to do some habitat management . The type of habitat management that we took part in was bracken bashing this is where you flatten or damage the bracken around a newly growing tree. This helps the tree get much needed light in order to grow.

We were also given the task of each picking a species of plant and identifying it. We then had to find out more information about the plant and prepare a short presentation to tell the others in our group about it.

Throughout the day we had a typical Scottish array of weather, ranging from glorious sunshine to a sudden and torrential downpour of rain accompanied by thunder and lightning. Luckily this changing weather did not impeed out progress in clearing bracken as this sudden change in weather occurred in the return journey to the lodge - this did however mean returning in the rain.
