Whitesheet Hill field trip Sun 8 June

Our field trip for June is early in the month, so don't forget! Andrew Graham will lead us on a walk over Whitesheet Hill (also spelt White Sheet Hill on OS map) starting at 11am from the car park. 

This prominent hill just to the north of Mere has some unimproved downland which is good for spring butterflies and flowers. We will hope to find the Glanville Fritillary which appears to have a self-sustaining population there. Bring close focus binoculars if you have them. No dogs.

Meet at the Nadder Centre car park  for 10:30 am departure or at 11:00 at the Whitesheet Hill car park at OS: ST 797350 (Map 142).
