Some more excellent photos of the time spent in the Lost Gardens of Heligan with a group of Cornish teachers and children. These images were taken by Mary Neale of 'Photography and Design'.

Its all in the detail ...
Thanks for Lynn Hughes of WildKey for these notes:
WildKey – an interactive, image-driven branching database that enables the identification of various wildlife groups (minibeasts and garden birds were used at Heligan). The program also enables the recording of the data so that details such as who found the species and when and where it was discovered (including GPS position) can be logged. The data can be loaded to a desktop database and exported, for example, to spreadsheets or Google Earth
WildMap – a package though which teachers can create interactive maps on a desktop computer and download them to a handheld device. On arrival at the site, you appear on the handheld as a flashing circle on the map which follows you around as you explore. The maps can include interest points with photos, text, sounds, video, quizzes and survey forms. Handheld users can create their own multimedia interest points while out-and-about.
Lost Gardens of Heligan provided a map for the day and various interest points were added by the WildKey team. Participants were asked to visit the interest points and also to create their own personal interest points through the handheld interface. The data was uploaded during the afternoon and maps created which showed both the track that had been walked and the interest points viewed. The maps have been uploaded and can be accessed here.
Again geo-referenced data was exported to Google Earth and can be viewed here (link).
