Every flower counts

March 2nd, 2015

LT_wildflowers_in_warton_crag_quarry A new National Plant Monitoring Scheme (NPMS) will for the first time enable scientists to take an annual stock take of the UK’s wild plants and their habitats.

Volunteers are needed to carry out surveys of wildflowers and their habitats that will provide robust evidence of which widespread plants are increasing or declining, as well as indicating the changing state of our most valued habitats such as grassland, fenland and even road verges.

Plants are nature’s building blocks and this new monitoring scheme will sit alongside existing schemes for the UK’s birds and butterflies to help us understand more about how the countryside is changing.
