Joint field meeting with National Museums Scotland and Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
Leader: Adrian Sumner
(01620 894640 – home, atsumner@clara.net)

Pease Dean is a Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve. It is a deep wooded valley on the east coast of Scotland, and includes some ancient woodland. It is therefore likely to be home to a number of specialist woodland species, such as Limax cinereoniger and Spermodea lamellata, although the molluscan fauna of the reserve is not well recorded. There may also be an opportunity to examine marine species at the adjacent Pease Bay in the morning (high tide is in the afternoon).

Directions
Meet at the car park at the Pease Bay caravan site at 11:00 h (NT 794706). To reach this, turn off the A1 at the roundabout at NT 775719 and take the minor road to Pease Bay. Transport from Edinburgh will be provided, leaving from outside the Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street at 10:15 h. Bring own lunch. Please let Dr Claire L. Pannell know in advance if you would like to travel in the minibus, thank you. (C.Pannell@nms.ac.uk).
