What is Talk with the Experts all about?
The ‘Talk with the Experts’ learning object enables you to investigate grassland management by participating in an interview with four grassland ‘experts’. You will then be able to pose your own question or comment if you wish. Each expert will respond to a number of set questions, so that you can consider, contrast and compare a range of views. Each grassland expert works in a unique field, where expertise in grassland plant and animal identification, grassland management and grassland conservation are major roles.

Topics include the role of the ‘expert’, the significance of grassland ecosystems and grassland management, and ideas for how you can be involved with grasslands either as an interest or as a potential career. You may choose to change topics for the one ‘expert’, or view responses for one topic for each ‘expert’.
