    My first experience of Preston Montford, my nearest FSC. An opportunity to explore the local reserves for plants with Fiona Gomersall who started with an overview of Limestone flora and then showed us examples in the field. Great day in the quarry!…

    I try to attend this course every year and always enjoy it. I did find this year that the course was overcrowded, the room (Constable) could have been better presented, and I also think that larger fridges should be provided in all studio rooms in order that there is enough…
