A date has been set for Wednesday evening 12th October at 7:00 pm to look at a draft constitution for the group. If you are interested in helping this Local Nature Reserve to achieve its potential then come along to the next meeting at Brighouse Adult Learning Centre, room 13, Church Street, Brighouse.
The rarest tree in the town centre is the one planted right up to the Adult ed Centre - Horton House.
It is one of the large forest Magnolias from North America. That was as far as the British Museum botanists would commit themselves when I sent them a sample some years ago. There are several species in the USA.
It could well be condemned soon as it is getting big. The flowers are not showy in spring but at this time of year it has hundreds of bright red seed-heads, like gerkins, (inedible) falling to the ground. Enjoy it while you can.
