Saturday June 14th at 11:00am. Vegetative
Sedge Training Day at Catherton Common.
Following on from the tremendously successful publication of Hilary Wallace’s Grasses: a guide to identification using vegetative characters, Hilary has been busily working on the production of an equivalent publication for Sedges and is joining us on Saturday to trial the key.
Catherton Common is such an important site that we are planning to hold two field visits this year. Along with an interesting range of sedges we should also be able to enjoy Lysimachia tenella, Bog Pimpernel, Pinguicula vulgaris, Common Butterwort, Narthecium ossifragum, Bog Asphodel and Drosera rotundifolia, Round-leaved Sundew. The going underfoot will be wet in places but there are no steep paths or steps.
