Our Annual Conference will be in Launceston

Exploring the botany of Soar Mill Cove

Non-members are welcome to join our Botany Section on an exploration of this area of the South Hams coast on Sunday 16 June. See here for full details, including what we hope to find.

Important notice for members

An additional resolution regarding renewal dates for membership has been received for, and will be put to, the AGM at Launceston. See the details here.
