Nine people came along on a fine afternoon to our Environment Weeks event. We set off from Beauchief Abbey to walk up Beauchief Drive and couldn’t help noticing the Cow Parsley growing in the hedgerows on either side of the drive was prolific this year, and looked absolutely magnificent. The trees were in full leaf and looked beautiful. We went first to Gulleys Wood Meadow where Pignut was in flower everywhere and there was a great display of Buttercups and Yellow Rattle. We then went to the Nature Park noting plant species along the way. It was a lovely walk.
Other species identified during the whole walk.
