The photos below were taken as part of an ongoing photographic survey of Troopers Hill undertaken for Bristol City Council by Wessex Ecological Consultancy and the Friends of Troopers Hill.

35 photographs are taken every other year from fixed points on the hill so that changes in the spread of different plant species can be monitored.

Clicking on the thumbnails below will bring up a series of slides that you can click through to see each view in even years since 1994 together with a more detailed description of the changes that can be seen. The photographs are taken in August each year.

The reports and photos from the 2008 survey can be seen via the links below:

The photographs for 2006 were taken by Friends of Troopers Hill during our Work Party on 5th Aug. To help get an overall view of how the hill has changed, we have put together some pages showing the 2006 photographs alongside the 1994 set. These can be seen via the links below:

Photos 1 to 11  | Photos 12 to 22  | Photos 23 to 35

For a longer term view of the changes on the hill you can look at some of the photographs of the hill on our Old Photographs page. Some of the sets have a Then & Now feature to let you see how the vegetation has changed over time.
