Foray Programme 2023

Please bear in mind that this programme be subject to modification. However, forays are very rarely called off due to weather conditions, unless it is exceptionally inclement! Changes will always be shown here so PLEASE check here before setting out to join a foray.

Please also note that some of these forays will be at SSSI sites or private property etc, so at these venues there will be STRICTLY NO PICKING, if this is the case it will be clearly shown in the foray list below!

DFG members are more than welcome to a copy of the finds list for each of the forays listed below (a few days after) simply by contacting the Foray Secretary who can then email it in PDF form.

All forays start at 10:00 am unless indicated otherwise.

Please be aware that if during any foray some form of emergency crops up or you find yourself detached from the main group and leader(s) please call the DFG dedicated mobile on 07375 996014
