Learn about some of the wild plants that can be found in a Rhos pasture on Dartmoor, with botanist Hannah Gibbons. Rhos pastures are a mosaic of wet meadows, bogs, heaths, woodland and scrub. The marshy grassland areas can be very species-rich, characterised by purple moor-grass and rush, plus many distinctive plants such as Bog pimpernel, Round-leaved sundew, Bog asphodel, Common cotton-grass and Devil’s-bit scabious. Devil’s-bit scabious is the sole food plant for the caterpillar of the rare Marsh Fritillary butterfly.
Hannah Gibbons is an ecologist and has been working in the conservation sector for 18 years and for the majority of that time has been working for charities (such as DWT, RSPB and NT) carrying out botanical and habitat surveys. Hannah has run several plant training workshops for Moor Meadows.
