We've been brushing up our field skills on Brownsea Island. Among the sites we recorded was this post-med brick kiln we first modelled in 2016. Looking forward to teaching some foreshore skills to our volunteers. Big thanks to @nationaltrust.org.uk for hosting us!

Hello world, it's nice to be here! We'll be helping communities map the impact of climate change on some of our most vulnerable coastlines. We're based in Sefton, North Devon, the Swale Estuary, and Poole Harbour. See how your coast changes and help record it.
