As in September, our distinguished botanist Ben Averis will be leading the spring walk.
Ben writes: ” . . . if anyone would like to bring any plant identification books, that’s fine. If people have hand lenses that would be good too. We will make a list of the plant species we see and in the process I can help interested people with any identification matters that arise and we can see what the flora tells us about the site (soils, history, etc). The species list is expected to accumulate as other species can be added on subsequent visits later in the year.”
Ben Averis is the author of Plants and Habitats: An introduction to common plants and their habitats in Britain and Ireland (2013).
