Upland Field Meeting 2022 Field
Strathpeffer, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland
FULLY BOOKED
Strathpeffer (Ross and Cromarty, Scotland) is a village in the northern highland surrounded by Ben Wyvis & Strathpeffer Woodlands, which are managed by the Scottish Forestry commission. Here, fungal fruiting occurs around a month earlier than in England, hence an August field meeting is expected to be productive!
The landscape of Scottish conifer forests has significant areas of native woodland mixed with conifer plantation (Sitka spruce 36%; Scots pine 23%; Lodgepole pine 20%). Broadleaf species are also well-represented within the Land Management Plan area (16%).
Meeting Leader
Bruce Ing
Workroom and accommodation
The meeting workroom will be in Strathpeffer Community Centre.
Participants will need to arrange their own accommodation and catering in nearby bed and breakfast, rented cottages and camping. A list of accommodation is available; early booking is recommended as this meeting occurs during summer holiday season.

BMS support for Ukraine
The British Mycological Society is devastated with the ongoing situation in Ukraine and the unacceptable violence and loss of life.
Our mission is to promote fungal science internationally and we are proud to have members from across the world including Ukraine. We want to help our friends and colleagues impacted by this unnecessary war in whatever way we can.
The BMS is making a donation to the Council for At-Risk Academics (cara) who are poised to support academics from Ukraine. Their ongoing work in relation to this crisis can be seen here.
Our thoughts are with the Ukrainian people at this dreadful time.
