Event Navigation
The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland holds a New Year Plant Hunt every year in the last few days of December and the first few of January. The objective is to record species of plant in flower over a period of not more than three hours. The data is used to help assess the effects of climate change on our flora, and there’s also a small element of competition as groups see just how many flowering plants they can find.
The Section is running three meetings to take part in this year’s Hunt:
1. Friday 2nd January, 10:30 to 13:30: Meet at Braunton Countryside Centre.
2. Friday 2nd January at 10:30: Great Torrington
3. Saturday 3rd January at 11:00: Plymouth Hoe
Please contact the leader/organiser (details below) if you would like to attend the Braunton hunt as the date and/or location may change according to the weather.
