I thought it might be interesting to see have long it takes the grass in front of Fulton House to recover after having the large marque placed on top of it. The picture immediately above was taken on the day of the tent's removal. It looked pretty trashed! The second picture was taken 3 days later. The grass is less compacted but is still etiolated. Four days after that, there is not much of an improvement but a bit greener. After yet another four days, it's starting to look like grass again (although still very damaged). The rain, after yet another 4 days, has resulted in its almost returning to normal (except for where the struts were).
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
