SUMMARY:Grimsargh Wetlands Invertebrate Recording Day
DESCRIPTION:Book here. \nGrimsargh Wetlands comprises three decommissioned former reservoirs and surrounding land managed by a dedicated Trust near Preston in Lancashire. There is variety of grassland habitats surrounding the former reservoirs\, from species-rich free draining south-facing embankments through to tall\, damp vegetation on heavy soils. One of the water bodies is shallow enough to virtually dry up in summer\, revealing good access to reedbed habitat. The third former reservoir has become a fen habitat dominated willow scrub and more accessible reedbed. The site is largely closed to the public and even volunteer work parties do not access large areas between April and July for the bird breeding season. The site managers are not aware of any attempts to record invertebrates apart from spiders. Our visit represents a special opportunity to access this reserve. \nNearest Train Station: Preston \nNearest Bus Stops: Catch the No.1 bus service Preston to Longridge from stand 29 at Preston Bus Station. Leave the bus at The Plough\, Sunnybank or Elston Lane stops on Preston Road. Travelling from Longridge\, leave the bus at Elston Lane or the Village Hall. \nPlease be aware that whilst we welcome invertebrate recorders of all experience levels\, our recording days are not taught or guided sessions. (Check out our webinars/workshops here). \nEvents will be subject to cancellation if there is severe weather forecast. \nBooking essential: Further details regarding meeting place etc. will be circulated before the day.
