Wessex Lichen Group meeting
The Wildground Nature Reserve, Gosport (rescheduled meeting)
Saturday 9th September 2022 at 10.30
Leader: Neil Sanderson, email: neilsand1@mac.com
This is a rescheduled meeting as the original date had to unfortunately be cancelled, numbers are required by the reserve staff to issue permits in advance for a weekend meeting, so please book with Neil Sanderson (email above).
The site is a relict pasture woodland with may veteran Oaks but has not been looked at for a long time. Francis Rose did not find much in the 1980s, but by 2004, when Neil briefly looked at the site, it was clearly improving after past pollution. There were some good veteran tree dry bark species including the Near Threatened Zwackhia prosodea (Opegrapha prosodea) seen, but no systematic recording has been carried out then or since, so a visit is very overdue.
Meet at 10.30am in the car park for the reserve. John Norton’s instructions are as follows. There is a new garden centre and car park, the latter just north of Grange Farm at SU583003 which is at the southern end of the LNR. Access via Grange Road, then Howe Road and Barrington Close.
Beginners are most welcome, bring a hand lens and a note book. The plan is for a full day meeting so do bring along a drink and lunch.
