Field Meetings 2001

By Harry Green

Our plans to visit non-reserve sites have been thwarted by the Foot & Mouth Epidemic and we have cancelled proposed spring and early summer meetings. We hope that the two following field meetings will be held. Recorders of all groups at whatever level of expertise welcome.

Penny Hill Bank near Martley

Saturday 21st July 2001. Meet at 10 pm. by B4197 running N from Martley at Hillside, grid ref SO755615.
This WWT reserve is an excellent Silurian Limestone Grassland well-recorded for butterflies and plants but less so for other species. We also expect to visit the adjacent land-filled and capped Penny Hill Quarry which is developing an interesting fauna and flora.

Devil’s Spittleful & Rifle Range

Saturday 1st September 2001. Meet at 10 am at the Blackstone Car Park grid ref SO796743 which is by the A456 just S of Bewdley near the by-pass roundabout. We will probably walk up to the reserve.
This is a major Worcestershire heathland.
