Sorby Natural History Society (Sheffield) meeting to Bretton Clough
Tuesday 28 March 2023
Leader: Steve Price, email: lichenrecords@sorby.org.uk
Sessile oakwoods and wood pasture together with a rich mix of sub-habitats offer the opportunity to obtain a good range and a good number of records.
Meet at 10.30am at grid ref. SK210777 this is about 1km east of the hamlet of Bretton at the west end of the unsurfaced section of Sir William Hill Road and is by the junction with the unnamed road from Highcliffe.
This meeting is joint with the Sorby Invertebrate Group.
Please note that the terrain is steep in places and there is a significant descent of over 150 metres from the start point to the bottom of the Clough (and over 150 metres back up again!). As always beginners are most welcome as are Members wishing to study areas of interest other than lichens and invertebrates. Bring a hand lens, note book, field guides and usual field kit. The plan is for a full day meeting so do bring along a drink and lunch.
