Summer Walks Programme 2011 has been completed.

Walks are normally of a short distance (2 to 5 miles), and require a packed lunch! Although the distance may be short, if the area is botanically interesting, it can take a considerable time to investigate each square yard. Walks normally take 3 to 5 hours.

Outdoor meetings explore the Greater Manchester area: river valleys, canals, old industrial sites, parks. Leaders are well informed in various branches of natural history - flowers, mosses. fungi, birds, insects especially of the locality.

Details of public transport are given where possible. Members are quite willing to give lifts.

Everyone is welcome to participate and learn how to tell apart different species or come along just to enjoy the walk and company.
