21st October has been designated as National Moss Day 2024. There are no explicit plans to publicise the day and organise events at a national level as we did last year, but it is hoped that individuals and local groups will try to schedule meetings for this weekend, and perhaps other organisations who launched moss trails and ran awareness days might be persuaded to promote moss-related activities on this date.
This rather rare oceanic liverwort was seen on the banks of the Claggain river during the recent Summer meeting on Islay. It is large and differs from other thallose liverworts also found in this habitat by having no air pores on its surface, and having bristly hairs along the thallus margins – so there should be no problem identifying it if you are lucky enough to see it!
