The group offers members the opportunity to pursue a common interest in the study and enjoyment of plants. Indoor study meetings and illustrated talks are held at approximately 3 week intervals in the Autumn and Spring terms. This is followed by approximately 2-3 weekly field visits into Cambridgeshire and the surrounding counties, from April until September, with a mixture of half day and whole day trips. A detailed programme is issued twice yearly. A donation of £2 will be requested to pay for our speakers’ travelling expenses and for donations to Trust sites we visit when appropriate. Members are encouraged to car share where practical. Members should equip themselves with comprehensive guide(s) to the wild flowers (including grasses, sedges & rushes) of the British Isles. A list of recommended floras will be available. In addition, a good X10 hand lens is essential. Our provisional dates for talks are 10, 31 Oct. 21 Nov. 12 Dec 2016. 9, 30 Jan. 20 Feb. 13 Mar 2017.
