Environmental organisations are calling for more land designations in their first annual progress report on the Government’s commitment to protect 30% of land and sea by 2030. However, designations in themselves will not achieve what they seek - the restoration of biodiversity. 

Drones might be the latest recreational gadget; however, their aerial imaging capabilities make them excellent tools for habitat and wildlife research. To discuss this further, staff members from across the trust recently met up at the GWCT Allerton Project, equipped with some state-of-the-art drones and eager placement student pilots.
