Next field meeting: Sunday 17th August Pam’s Pools nature reserve

Sunday 17th August  Pam’s Pools nature reserve, Mor Brook valley near Bridgnorth. Meet at 11.00am, Pam Yuille’s cottage Grid Reference: SO 68281 91908; What3Words \\\armrest.alienated.swerves. 

This 44 ha site is the vision of Pam Yuille, and is part owned by Pam and the Shropshire Wildlife Trust. It comprises woodland, several large pools (ex quarry pits) and much interesting grassland varying from semi-improved to species rich meadows. It is usually only accessible on open days but the Botanical Society is delighted to accept an invitation to visit and improve the plant list.  More information can be found on the SWT website: Pam's Pools

The site is west of Bridgnorth and can be approached from either the A458 or the B364.  A lane between these two goes through Underton which is the nearest settlement.  Parking will be in a field off this lane through a gate as indicated when you arrive. There is a small visitor centre and compost loo. Although quite a big area the site is largely flat and paths are accessible.
