British Lichen Society Conference - Field Trip to Bowhill, Selkirk. 05.03.23

I attended the British Lichen Conference in Edinburgh 03-05 03 23 in Edinburgh. On the 05.03.23 we went on a filed trip to the woods around Bowhill House in Selkirk, which included ancient oak woodlands. We split into groups which were led by expert lichonolist from the BLS. I saw species which I had never seen before, as the banitats of the Borders is very different to that of Sussex.
