This talk will explain how this invasion unfolded. Who where the troops\, what were their forts like\, how did the military operate\, was Britain ever fully conquered and why did the Romans come to Britan in the first place? \nSpeaker Bio: \nProfessor Stephen Upex Ph.D.\, MCIfA. FSA. \nProf. Stephen Upex has written papers and books on topics related to British landscape history and archaeology and his interests range from Roman and Saxon landscapes and archaeology to medieval open fields systems. He has directed archaeological excavations on Roman and Saxon sites in the East Midlands and contributed to several Time Team programmes for Channel Four. Recently Stephen has written a series of landscape and archaeological reports and books on sites within the East Midlands and he is currently in the process of publishing a volume on Roman industrial landscapes.  His most recent books are the ‘Romans in the Nene valley’ (2022) and ‘Edmund Tyrell Artis and the Durobrivae of Antoninus’ (2023) Stephen is a tutor at the University of Cambridge and also works a freelance archaeologist\, author and consultant.

SUMMARY:Guided Mushroom Walks led by Mycologist Tom Haddon
DESCRIPTION:Fungi are the cornerstones of ecosystems across the world and mushrooms are the enigmatic and ephemeral fruits of these vitally important organisms. Whether they are exchanging nutrients with plants or breaking down dead material for the next generation\, they are an essential partner to an estimated 90% of all plant species and are found on every continent on Earth. \nStanwick Lakes is home to many species of fungi\, with many only found in specific grassland and woodland habitats. During this 2-hour walk\, time will be spent learning which habitats may be home to which fungi and then these habitats will be explored to find and identify mushrooms. Some may be tiny\, with dozens of mushrooms inhabiting a single leaf\, like the leaf parachute mushroom\, whilst other may be large bracket fungi that are almost as old as the trees they call home\, like the artists bracket. \nHand lenses will be provided so the exquisite detail of the mushrooms found can be seen with plenty of opportunities for photographs. There will be time for questions and discussions around mycology and identification. \nThe walk will be led by Mycologist Tom Haddon who recently completed Stanwick Lakes’ first fungal survey which identified the presence of important waxcap species and a species vulnerable to extinction in Europe with the discovery of the Wrinkled Peach (Rhodutus palmatus). \nCheck out this BBC news article on Tom’s rare discovery at Stanwick Lakes – Rare wrinkled peach mushroom \nPlease wear appropriate footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather.
