As part of the Community Commons Project, Sheila Spence, a local field mycologist, is coming to Merbach Hill Common to lead a Fungus Foray on Monday, October 6th at 10 am. Sheila will describe the ecology and life-cycle of British fungi and will lead a walk to discover which species of fungi can be found on the common at this time of year.

You are most welcome to come along. We will meet at the new gate where the bridleway joins the eastern edge of the common (grid ref SO309447). This can be approached by walking along the green lane from the minor road at SO315443. Please come equipped with sturdy footwear (strong shoes or wellington boots), warm clothes and waterproofs in case of a shower. Please note that due to potential disturbance to wildlife, you are asked not to bring dogs.

This event is free and everyone is welcome. So that we have an idea of the number of people planning to attend, please contact Judy Hart at judy.hart@hnt-commons.co.uk or phone 01432 853 205, if you would like to come along.
