Start date
Event Description:
Wessex Lichen Group New Year Meeting
 
DATE CHANGE BECAUSE OF WEATHER TO Monday 2nd January 2023 at 10.30
 
Leader: Neil Sanderson, email: neilsand1@mac.com
 
The Wessex Lichen Group New Year will be held at Vinney Ridge in the New Forest. This is a small but rich area of ancient Beech and Oak pasture woodland, which I have not looked at since 2004. This meeting will effectively finish my COVID shutdown inspired campaign to revisit every 1km square with old woodland in the New Forest. 
 
Meet at the car park at SU260057 Monday 2nd January 2023 at 10.30. Bring lunch, stout footwear and a handlens if you have them (can be supplied), all day meeting if weather good. Beginners welcome. Please reply to Neil if coming so I have an idea of numbers.
