Flitwick Moor and Folly Wood, Flitwick, Bedfordshire. Phenacolimax major search.

Type
Field meeting

Joint meeting with the Flitvale local Wildlife Trust group. Bedfordshire's most important wetland and an SSSI, Flitwick Moor is a blend of fen, meadow, wet woodland and fragile peaty soil, supporting mosses, ferns and flowers. Although this is generally a low pH habitat, previous records have included Phenacolimax major and it will be useful to discover whether this species is still present. Meet at 10:30 h at the car park at the end of the small track at Folly farm, grid ref. TL046354. Bring wellingtons and a packed lunch. The site is 1 mile from Flitwick station which is on the Thameslink line from London. Detailed directions and a map are available on the BCNP Wildlife Trust website at http://www.wildlifebcnp.org/reserves/reserve1.php?reserveid=19
