Friday 13th July. River survey
Rivercarers!
I'm suggesting a second river survey for Friday 13th July, meeting at 7.0 pm at the Road Bridge. The plan would be to follow up our June sampling at the same points so that we can compare what turns up. Wellies, identification charts etc useful as usual.
My apologies to those who cannot come on this date - I'm afraid that clashes are almost unavoidable at this time of the year.

Tuesday 10th July. Plantwatch on Bourne Bridge Road
Plantwatchers & Project Team
I propose a study walk of the Bourn Bridge Road protected verges on the evening of Tuesday 10th July, starting from the end of the 'Coach Road' (the muddy lane going south, about halfway along the open part of BBR) at 6.45 and finishing about an hour later. County assures me that the front meter will not have been cut by then.
This should be an opportunity to look quite closely at the plants and try both to identify what makes it possible to distinguish one species from another, and how to use 'chunking' as an aid to memory. There will be hand-outs to help with this. So some of you may want to bring scribble pads, illustrated guidebooks and perhaps lenses with you. On the other hand, the verges are looking good anyway, and others may prefer simply to enjoy this.
Anyone keen to come but unable to one this date please let me know, so that I can try to find a date for a fix a second go.
