On a lovely Saturday morning in October (15th) a small party of ten explored the fungi growing in Lawnswood Cemetery. The walk was led jointly by local expert, Mary Larner, Mid-Yorkshire Fungus Group and Pete Banks, Parks & Countryside Ranger who leads the Friends of Lawnswood Cemetery’s Action Days. The group varied in age and expertise…with several bringing along reference books to aid identification. This review is from one at the top end of the age range and virtually no subject knowledge.
Sunday, 11thSeptember was the last of four Heritage Open Days and the sun was shining. A lovely day for a walk round the cemetery. More than 50 people turned up and were treated to a guided walk around the Victorian section by Ann Lightman whose subject was ‘Victorian Industrialists’. It was a most interesting afternoon and was enjoyed by all!
Join Countryside Ranger Pete Banks and Local expert Mary Larner from the Mid-Yorkshire Fungus Group for an insight into the many different species of fungus that can be found at Lawnswood.
The walk is free and will last approximately 2 hours with drinks and refreshments provided. There are only 30 places available, so please contact the Countryside Rangers ASAP to book your place.
