(rescheduled from October ’24)
Ou
r member and friend Gill Wrigley will be wearing a different hat this evening as Sphagnum Project Officer for Calderdale Council.
With the National Lottery funded Calderdale Sphagnum Project, Gill, a horticulturalist, has developed a method of growing Sphagnum moss in a nursery environment.
She is now teaching conservation organisations across the country to ‘Grow Moss for Peat’s Sake’.
Gill will bring along some of the many species of sphagnum moss that the project has been growing and explain its importance in habitat creation and peat restoration.
This will be at our usual venue for indoor meetings, Cutgate Baptist Church Edenfield Road, Rochdale, OL11 5AQ
The meetings are on the second Thursday of the month, and start at 7.30pm.
We are looking forward to welcom
ing you.
Members £3 per meeting, Non-Members £4 per meeting. Tea, coffee, and cake available – please make a donation towards cost.
There is parking on the Cutgate shopping precinct and the Norden bus stops near the church.
We are always needing members to help with setting up the room and tidying up afterwards, so if you can spare a few minutes just come a bit early or stay behind after.
