Below is a listing of forthcoming events organised by, or relevant to, the British Lichen Society - field meetings, workshops, committee meetings etc. Please note that only those meetings shown as BLS meetings are put on by the society and covered by our insurance. All other meetings are the responsibility of their organiser. Requests for events to be added to the Events Calendar should be sent to the events@britishlichensociety.org.uk. Please include public transport or shared car options if possible.
Most BLS meetings and workshops are open to all members and prospective members, regardless of level of experience. All that is required is enthusiasm about lichens! Occasionally a meeting is targeted to a particular, more specialised group, but that will be made clear in the information provided for that event. Local groups also organise field trips, etc, which may not always be listed here - usually good for beginners.
A list of Local Groups and their contact details can be found here.

Field Meetings Feedback: The British Lichen Society are continually looking for ways to improve field meeting experiences for our membership. We would welcome your feedback on any of our events, including any recent and historic trips. All feedback is anonymous and the form can be found here.
