Here are some exciting guided walks organised in Bingley St Ives Estate this year by the Friends of St Ives, one of the local organisations linked to us.
For these events you will need good footwear as pathways are often wet and slippery. Also: please bring suitable clothes for the weather. No charge is made for events but donations to the society are always welcome.
Fungi Walk & Talk
This event is now back at St Ives! Meet at 10:00am at the car park by Coppice Pond on Sunday 27th September. The walk is led by Ian Forward an expert on fungi. Even on bad years we have found a huge variety of species and on good years have over filled a table top with finds. They range from the toxic to the edible plus more than a few that whilst they will not poison you, do not taste very good. You may find it handy to have: A sharp knife, some grease proof paper and a few plastic (lunch size) boxes. With these items you can save finds for further research at home.
