Bryophytes and Lichen. Robertsbridge 12.03.12

I went to Robertsbridge with the British Bryology Society South East group. It was the first time I had attended a BBS gorp field trip: it was fantastic experience and I learnt a great deal from expert bryologist

A report of the field trip can be found at the Sussex Bryophytes website
