North Wales limestone pavements

Type
Field meeting

Over the past year or so, work has been undertaken to survey the molluscan fauna of Limestone Pavements in Yorkshire. In order to acquire some comparative data it is intended to visit two sites in Caernarvonshire in 2010. In order to be of maximum value the main samples must be taken from within designated areas of each limestone pavement. Although this is one of the main points of the visit there should be plenty of opportunity to investigate the molluscan fauna in other areas close by.
