Sunday May 25th at 10:30am. Joint meeting with the North Worcestershire Flora Group within the Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve. Meet at Hawkbatch car park.
This wonderful, large woodland located in both counties contains a number of rare species such as Epipactis purpurata, Violet Helleborine, Sorbus domestica, Service-tree, Melica nutans, Mountain Melick, Geranium sanguineum, Bloody Crane's-bill, Carex montana, Soft-leaved Sedge and Potamogeton crispus, Curled Pondweed.
The Wyre Forest Study Group have been systematically locating and recording flushes within the Forest and hopefully Cesca Beamish, the leader from the North Worcestershire Flora Group, can provide us with an update on this project. We shall be exploring the woodland from paths that are generally muddy in places but with the dry weather boots should be fine.
Parking is at Hawkbatch Car Park, SO 7609 7770, What3words: https://w3w.co/irritated.steered.glove. Please note the slightly earlier time of 10:30am.
