This workshop is intended for those with experience of woodland NVC survey in a variety of situations. We will take an overview of the NVC system in practice; using NVC field survey in a variety of woodland situations; we will take a critical look at woodland NVC and its applications; reporting an NVC survey. Following a brief overview of woodland NVC methods, we will undertake field survey, gathering data to allow Community descriptions to be assigned. Participants will analyse the data to assign Communities and examine the challenges presented when interpreting data and mapping communities.
