This module will be organised around specific examples of restoration or management problems in terrestial systems. Three of these examples will be based on desk studies where students will evaluate information provided and from relevant public sources (e.g. BAP plans) in order to produce an individual case study report. A further example will involve group work and the collection of primary data by students. As a preliminary stage in this exercise, student groups will produce tender documents setting out the plan of work with costs and objectives. Practical work may involve field surveys and/or monitoring, and laboratory analyses as appropiate. The group report will consist of a fully costed restoration or management plan that includes relevant aspects of regulation.

The module aims to provide an opportunity for students to apply knowledge gained from other modules within the context of realistic restoration or management scenarios. This will involve evaluation of information provided for or collected by students leading to the production of reports advising on resoration or management plans. Reports will include consideration of practical, cost and regulatory issues.
