Publications

Friends of Grasslands' primary publication is the newsletter, News of Friends of Grasslands.  It is produced five or six times a year and provides a wealth of information on what we are up to, plus educational articles including reports and summaries of workshops, visits and submissions.  The newsletter is free to members, posted as hard copy if required, though usually distributed by email.  You can help by preparing articles. Archived copies can be downloaded from the website.

In addition to the printed newsletter, an electronic bulletin, the E-bulletin, is emailed to members, usually bi-monthly.  It includes the latest calendar of forthcoming FoG and other events.

FoG conducts irregular on-line presentations and gets reports from members. See the reports page for more.
