Field and Forest: 13s Richmond Park Geography Trip

Ours 13s Geographers visited Richmond Park on Thursday 21st April 2022 to undertake fieldwork and investigate a small scale ecosystem as part of the GCSE unit entitled ‘Living World’. The year group looked at food chains and food webs and compared a grassland (unmanaged) and deciduous woodland (managed) ecosystem and examined variations in plant height and variety, soil depth and moisture, environmental quality, age of trees and number of users. 

Please find below a gallery of photos of the trip taken by Mr Cooper.
