Meet at 11am. We should find Diphasiastrum alpinum and Lycopodium clavatum, as well as Botrychium (lunaria or nordicum?) and horsetails. There are other larger ferns in the area.

To get there leave the M8 at Junction 5 and head south on the B7057. After about 1 mile, turn right on to…

More information will be available closer to the event. All are welcome! Leader: Clive Dixon
