This meeting is particularly aimed at beginners/improvers. However, it will be of general interest also as Glen Fender is a place much appreciated by botanists for its calcareous grassland slopes that support a number of notable species. Beginners will be helped to identify the commonest species using the Pocket Guide to Wildflower Families – and hopefully some of the more unusual ones too. The terrain is not especially taxing, but strong footwear is a must.
