Sorby Natural History Society (Sheffield)

Lichen meeting at Linacre, Chesterfield

Saturday 26 March 2022

Leader: Steve Price, email: lichenrecords@sorby.org.uk

 

This meeting will study the lichens of the woodland areas on the northern side of the Linacre Reservoirs. In the database there are currently no lichen records for the site, so everything seen will count!

The Reservoirs are signed from the B6050 road about 0.5km west of Cutthorpe. Meet at 10.30 at the pay and display car park at grid ref SK336726. Having driven as far as is permitted along the reservoir access road this car park is on the right. The plan is for the meeting to last into the afternoon.

Beginners are most welcome, bring a hand lens and a note book, and as always Members wishing to study areas of interest other than lichens can also join us. It is recommended that you bring along warm clothes, boots, a drink and lunch.
