Allerton Meeting of Liverpool Botanical Society
Led by David Earl, 12th April 2014 
Species List

Walk from Liverpool South Parkway station, under flyover and along Mather Avenue to north-east, crossing into kilometre square SJ 4185.  At the cemetery boundary we took the footpath along the south-western fence, heading towards the east and dipping out of the main kilometre square to the south before heading north again across the cemetery.  We then crossed the road to the north and explored the area around the Eric Hardy reserve (possibly breaking out north of SJ48C tetrad for a short distance) and then followed the brook boundary south again back across the road into the cemetery and then headed westwards towards Mather Avenue and back to Liverpool South Parkway.
	
Most of the walk was either in planted and self-regenerated woodland-like areas or in open grassy habitats with mature standard trees amongst the graves. There were also large walls and bridge abutments providing extra habitat and some gardened areas.
