Fungus Foray, Chapel Common
GU33 7JL
W3W: ///harder.geek.holds
Leader: Andy Swan (HNHS member)
A SSSI with heathland, birch/pine woodland and grassland, offering a good potential range of fungi.
Directions: From Liphook follow the B2070 southwards. After about 4km, soon after the Rake village sign, turn right just in front of the school. After about 600m, turn right. When the end of the road is in sight, park on left. We will meet by the SSSI sign.
Burton Mill and Chingford Ponds
Postcode: GU28 0JR
W3W: ///asterisk.trout.riches
Leader: t.b.a.
In addition to the water birds at both ponds, the 1.5km walk between the ponds traverses some good wildlife habitat.
Directions: Take the A285 south from Petworth. After about 3.5km, turn left, signposted to Burton Mill. After about 1.5km, parking (free) is on the left as you reach the pond.
Frensham Great Pond
Postcode: GU10 2QB
W3W: ///homecare.frogs.toothpick
Leader: (a member of the conservation team, t.b.a.)
Rather than our usual circuit for birds, we will be exploring the adjacent woodland and heath, expecting lichens and late season fungi, but we will also traverse the lakeside for birds!
Directions: Follow the A287 north from Hindhead and pass through Beacon Hill and Churt. After crossing Frensham Common, with the pond on your left, look out for the sharp left turn signed to the Great Pond and hotel. After about 800m, turn left into car park.
Churchyard Lichens
Leader: Dr June Chatfield
