AGM and Lecture "Dissecting the decline of a farmland icon"  by Dr Phil Wheeler

Brown hares have declined markedly across their range in Western Europe and in Britain particularly in pastures. Much research has been dedicated to figuring out why these declines have occurred.

For the past 6 years, most of that research has been conducted in fields around North East Yorkshire by Dr Phil Wheeler and his research team.

This talk will present a summary of this work, including the latest results from field and lab work where the team have employed increasingly detailed methods to unpick the ecology of our most iconic farmland mammal.
