Lichen Walk, 21st February:
In the February Hilltop News, Isobel Clark has written a fascinating article on the lichens which many of us walk past every day without recognising how amazing they are. In September last year Isobel led a lichen walk on the Commons and, by popular request, will lead another on Cholesbury Common on 21st Feb at 10am, starting opposite The Full Moon. Isobel asks if you would please let her know by email if you’d like to join the group email isobel.clark@cholesbury.com.
