Surveys

As a field ecologist specialised in lichens and bryophytes, especially those of woodlands, coastal and heritage landscapes, I am available for surveys across Scotland. Apart from producing a species list for a site, these surveys may help identify species and habitats of interest and/or feed into the site’s biodiversity plan. I welcome the challenge of carrying out surveys in perhaps less commonly surveyed sites, such as the survey of the Highland Wildlife Park in 2022, and am also open to survey work that feeds into wider research.  As community engagement is at the core of my practice, I am keen to carry out community lichen and bryophyte surveys that have participation and training at their core.

To discuss opportunities for surveys, with or without a community engagement element, please contact me at petravergunst [at] hotmail [dot] com.
