Sorby Natural History Society (Sheffield)
Lichen Meeting to Bradford Dale, Derbyshire
Tuesday 8 October 2024
Leader: Steve Price, email: lichenrecords@sorby.org.uk
The main habitats in this delightful limestone dale will be the trees, walls and hillside outcrops alongside the River Bradford. The vast majority of records for the dale date from the mid-1990’s with just 10 others dated 2011. We can expect to record some significant changes in the lichen flora (or should I now be saying ‘funga’?).
Meet at 10:30am in the centre of Middleton by Youlgreave at grid ref SK195631. There is ample roadside parking.
As always beginners are most welcome as are Members wishing to study areas of interest other than lichens. Bring the usual field kit and some suitable outdoor clothing. The plan is for a full day meeting so do bring along a drink and lunch.
