Identifying Waxcaps of significance in grassland systems

Waxcaps are a specific group of fungi found in species-rich, nutrient-poor grasslands and can be indicators for conservation value meadows. A practical workshop to identify waxcaps (and other fungi) in the field, to learn about their importance as potential indicators of higher conservation value habitat within grasslands and how their management may offer potential for inclusion in CS Higher Tier options. Led by experienced speakers with an initial presentation followed by a field visit. Arriving 10am for a 10.30 start. Refreshments and pasty lunch included (please advise any dietary requirements when booking). Delivered by the Dartmoor Hill Farm Project as part of the Dartmoor's Dynamic Landscapes programme (Heritage Lottery Fund).
