THE 2010 PROGRAMME OF BRITISH LICHEN SOCIETY FIELD MEETINGS: DETAILS
Participants are asked to observe any special instructions from the leader of the meeting, especially regarding access, collecting specimens other than small collections for essential identification purposes and any safety hazards there may be on site.
Although field meetings are well in hand for the near future, it would be greatly appreciated if members who would like to lead field meetings would get in touch with me at least eighteen months in advance of any meetings they would wish to run. The most important requirement in a prospective leader is a good knowledge of promising sites, access points etc. and a suitable base to operate from. The Field Meetings Secretary will continue to provide support by contacting members prior to meetings, and send out lists of hotels and accommodation where appropriate. Although prepared to give advise, the Field Meetings Secretary is not prepared to organise travel arrangements for individual members.
ISLE OF MAN
Fri 23 to Mon 26 April 2010 (plus extension days)
Local organiser - Professor Mark Seaward
The Spring 2010 BLS field meeting will be held on the Isle of Man from Friday 23 to Monday 26 April, with an option for individuals to extend their stay, hopefully to do more lichenology, beyond the 26th. Appropriate accommodation is being negotiated and local transport facilities investigated. Site visits are currently being arranged, such as those to The Ayres National Nature Reserve, Dhoon Glen, Pooilvaaish coast, Snaefell (via the railway to its summit) and the old mine working at Laxey (reached by the old electric railway). Although the lichen flora for much of the island is reasonably well known, particularly as a result of the sterling work by Peter Earland-Bennett in the 1970s, there has been no subsequent detailed work, other than the churchyard studies by Stella Thrower in the 1990s, so there should be plenty of scope for rewarding lichenology. It is envisaged that short introductory lectures on various aspects of the island’s natural history, etc. will take place on the Friday evening. Cheap flights to the Isle of Man are currently available from numerous airports in Britain and Ireland for those using advance/on-line booking facilities, and ferries travel from Belfast, Liverpool and Heysham.
It is essential that those interested in attending should contact Professor Mark Seaward, Dept. of Archaeological, Geographical & Environmental Sciences, University of Bradford, Bradford BD7 1DP or e-mail: m.r.d.seaward@bradford.ac.uk as soon as possible.
Note that by early September, 23 likely participants had already registered a potential interest! These potential attendees and all others who express an interest will be provided with more detailed information by e-mail or post where necessary, subsequent to Professor Seaward’s visit to the Isle of Man in late October when he will assess the various possibilities and finalize certain arrangements. These details will also be posted onto the Society's web-site.

MORAY
Saturday 14 - Saturday 21 August 2010
Local organisers - Heather Paul & Clare Scanlon (assisted by Sandy Coppins)
Based in Findhorn, this meeting plans to visit some exciting sites including the famous lichen heaths of Culbin Sands, the shingle at the mouth of the Spey and the woods of the lower Findhorn River. The windblown heaths of the Findhorn Dunes are within walking distance of our meeting base. If you want to get clued up on the terricolous Cladonias this is the meeting for you!
The BLS has booked (and paid a deposit for) five luxury self-contained caravans offering up to 24 bed-spaces in 7 twin and 5 double bedrooms at Findhorn Holiday Park (grid ref. NJ 053 635). Each caravan has toilets, showers, TV’s, and fully equipped kitchens. Bed linen is provided, but bring your own towels.
Breakfast will have to be self-catered, there are food shops on-site, in Findhorn (2km away) and in Kinloss (3km away). Other meals can also be self-catered but there are pubs serving food in both Findhorn village and Kinloss. There is a café on-site.
A secure room on-site has been reserved for the week this will provide some room for microscope use, and for displaying specimens, maps and books.
The cost of bed and laboratory accommodation will be in the region of £110 per person for the week. This amount depends upon all the bed spaces being used (in this respect couples are encouraged to request the double bedrooms). The maximum cost should not exceed £130 per person. These figures do not include the cost of any food.
Other types of accommodation can be found by searching the web with ‘Moray accommodation’ or similar. There is a medium-sized campsite on the Holiday Park, however they do not accept reservations, so there is no guarantee of spaces. Members not staying in the arranged accommodation will be asked to contribute to the cost of hiring the laboratory rooms.
The nearest rail station in Forres, is 7km from the meeting base and is on the line between Inverness (30 min journey) and Aberdeen (1hr 45 min journey). Overnight sleeper services serve both Inverness and Aberdeen. There are regional airports at Inverness and Aberdeen.
Please book with the Field Meetings Secretary, Steve Price (email: lichenrecords@sorby.org.uk) and also advise the local organiser Heather Paul (email : george.paul@btinternet.com) if you plan to attend. Bookings will be taken on a first-come first-served basis, and a booking is secured on receipt of a deposit of £30 per person. As places are limited, please ensure your place by early booking. Cheques made payable to the BLS, please, should be sent to Steve Price, the Field Meetings Secretary, Woodlands, Combs Road, Combs, High Peak, Derbyshire SK23 9UP
Heather Paul and Clare Scanlon (with the support of Sandy Coppins) will be arranging the details of the sites to be visited and more information will be sent out to attendees as plans develop.
CARMARTHEN
Thurs 7 to Mon 11 October 2010 (to include BLS Council meeting)
Local organiser - Ray Woods
The autumn meeting will visit Dinefwr Park and castle and some inland limestone sites in this area of west Wales. The meeting base will be Glynhir Mansion, Llandybie near the National Botanic Garden of Wales. The National Botanic Garden now hosts the BLS Library.
Members interested in attending should contact the local organiser, Ray Woods (email: raygwoods@aol.com ), and the Field Meetings Secretary, Steve Price, Woodlands, Combs Road, Combs, High Peak, Derbyshire SK23 9UP or by email at lichenrecords@sorby.org.uk.

14.00 Lecture Meeting: Lichens of coastal and inland sand and shingle.
Chair: Stephen Ward
14.05 – 14.35 Peter Lambley: Change and stability – dilemmas in coastal conservation
Shingle and sand dune systems are some of the most important habitats for terricolous lichens in East Anglia and were the subject of early studies on lichen ecology. The lichen communities of Blakeney Point, Orfordness and a number of other sites will be described particularly in relation to their geomorphology. Past and present conservation issues affecting these sites will be discussed especially in relation to disturbance or the lack of it and a comparison made with situations in Somerset and Cornwall. This will be set in the context of changing attitudes to coastal management of dynamic sites within the conservation community as a response to predicted sea level rise.
14.35 – 15.05 Laurens Sparrius: Vegetation succession in lichen-rich inland dunes in the Netherlands
Inland dunes are semi-natural landscapes characterised by drift sand soils originating from glacial cover sands. Over the last 100 years, most inland dunes have been planted with pine trees. Open inland dunes are now rare and protected under the EU Habitats Directive. Inland dunes need management to preserve their open sand and lichen-rich Corynephorus-grasslands. Within open inland dunes several vegetation types can be found from open sand with sparse grasses to Cladonia-rich grasslands and lichen-rich Calluna-heathland. The major threat of inland dunes is nitrogen deposition. The bryophyte Campylopus introflexus becomes dominant in high nitrogen deposition areas, wiping out most of the lichen vegetation. These processes will be illustrated with results of experiments and a remote sensing survey. The niche of individual lichen species within the inland dune system is discussed.
15.05 - 15.45 - Tea
15.45 – 16.15 Christopher Ellis: Lichens in a dynamic shingle system – Culbin Bar
Summary: Culbin Bar is one of the most natural and undisturbed shingle systems in the British Isles. The Bar is a linear shingle feature, and is subject to a range of geomorphologic processes – physical erosion at the proximal (eastern) end scavenges shingle, which is transported via longshore drift, resulting in the growth and accretion of the shingle system at the distal (western) end. The seaward front of the Bar is subject to severe exposure, while the landward shoreline is sheltered and receives deposits of wind-blown sand. This creates a range of environmental gradients to which the vegetation responds. This talk will explore the dynamics of the lichen communities with respect to the coastal geomorphology of Culbin Bar. Of particular interest is the extent to which lichen community dynamics are consistent with the well worked-out process of vascular plant succession. I will argue that our existing understanding and application of vegetation succession neglects a number of important aspects relevant to lichen conservation.
16.15 – 16.45 Janet Simkin: From contamination to conservation - Lichens of the North Pennine River Shingles
Lead mining in the North Pennines led to gross contamination of the rivers draining the moors to the north, and the accumulation of metal-rich sediments along their length. These rivers are prone to flooding and the gravel bars thrown up by historic floods have developed a unique plant community that is rich in lichens. The saxicolous species are usually nothing special, but areas of bare soil are dominated by impressive stands of Cladonia and Peltigera, including some interesting species. Less easy to see, but more important to the ecology of these early successional communities, are the terricolous crusts. Comparison with historic records and long term monitoring are now revealing how these lichen communities are changing rapidly over time, and raising concerns over their long term future.
CLOSE
Saturday evening
There are no formal events in the evening but if there is sufficient interest arrangements can be made for a reservation at a restaurant or pub for an evening meal.
Please let me know by email (plambley@aol.com) if you wish to do this.
Sunday 17 January
Field Excursion to Winterton Dunes National Nature Reserve. This site is about 16 miles north-east of Norwich and about 4 miles north of Great Yarmouth. These dunes are acid with lichen communities dominated by Cladonia species. They demonstrate a number of conservation issues including sea defences and impacts of visitor pressure. People intending to go on the excursion should meet in the car park at the Oaklands Hotel at 9.30am.
Lunch will be taken in a local pub.
In the afternoon it is intended to visit a church before returning to Norwich for 16.30 at the latest.
Monday 18 January
There will be a field trip to Holkham National Nature Reserve on the North Norfolk coast where the dunes are more calcareous and they will be opportunities to see Usnea articulata in its only eastern locality and the endemic species Caloplaca suaedae, together with lichens on timber posts in saltmarsh. Detailed arrangements of this visit will be announced at the meeting.
