New Year Plant Hunt
The New Year Plant Hunt is the Botanical Society's primary outreach activity, enabling botanists of all abilities to take part in a regular, planned, and supported recording activity.
Each year, across a set of days around New Year, intrepid botanists of all ages and abilities set out to record which wild plants they can find in bloom.
By recording the wild plants in flower in your local patch in the depths of winter, you can help us gather valuable data about how our wild or naturalised plants are responding to a changing climate, and how this might impact the other species that rely upon them.
