This will be a relaxed 2 hour free walk and talk for absolute beginners at Otterhead Lakes in the Blackdown Hills in East Devon, supported by the South West Lichen Group and the British Lichen Society. This walk has been rescheduled from summer, when it was just too hot! We will be meeting at 10am at the car park and heading on for a short walk down along the lakes and river. Beavers have set up home here so it will be interesting to observe their interaction with the trees (and lichens). You are all welcome but please let me know if you plan on coming and I’ll send you the details.
There will be a limit on numbers so please book!
