SUMMARY:Why care about Fungi?
DESCRIPTION:WHY CARE ABOUT FUNGI? \nFungi come in all shapes and sizes.  Although often overlooked\, they are an important feature of a healthy ecosystem.  They enrich and aerate soils\, help breakdown dead matter\, help trees communicate\, are a food source\, and have various relationships with other species that will make you gasp!  \nAlexandra Dombrowski achieved an MSc in Plant and Fungal taxonomy\, conservation\, and biodiversity through Kew and Queen Mary University.   Genetic assessments of biodiversity are now vital in the face of acute biodiversity loss and Alex’s work contributes to this within the Darwin Tree of Life Project at Kew\, where she identifies fungi\, maintains fungal cultures\, and completes molecular work. \nCome along and hear Alex talk about the importance and wonder of fungi and how by growing fungi we can help maintain biodiversity and soil health in our gardens and allotments.  She will also show us some of the most common fungi to find around London and where to grow them. \n£5.00 entry per adult\, pay at the door.\n12yrs and under\, free of charge\nChildren must be accompanied by an adult.\nTea/Coffee/Biccies and a Raffle

SUMMARY:Wasp Talk
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Mick Massie. \nWe are delighted to have Iona Cunningham-Eurich\, from University College London and the Natural History Museum talk to us about her specialist subject – wasps. \nMention wasps and we all tend to think of one species.  The pesky yellow jacket that torments you through August in your garden.  In fact\, there are over 9\,000 wasp species in the UK and most of them go about their business without disturbing us at all!  They are good pollinators\, and some eat the bugs that most gardeners would be glad to be rid of.  Some species do not live in communal nests either\, many are solitary\, living underground. \nIona will talk to us about wasps in general and then pick a few of her own favourite species to discuss with us.  You will be amazed to learn about the hidden world of wasps and why they are important to the ecosystem.  You won’t be able to resist looking out for them once you have attended this talk! \n£5.00 entry (pay on the door).\n12yrs and under free of charge.\nChildren must be accompanied by an adult.\nTea/Coffee/Biccies and a Raffle
