BSBI New Year Plant Hunt 2026

BSBI are once again running their New Year Plant Hunt. The survey plays a crucial role in monitor the change in phenology as a result of climate change to both wild and naturalised flowering plants across Britain. You can plan and run your own New Year Plant Hunt where you are or join a local group. This year’s events run from the Thursday 1st January to the Sunday 4th January. You can learn more about this on the BSBI website.

The Kirkcudbrightshire Botany Group event will be at Southerness on Friday 2nd January. For further details please contact Sarah White at kirkcudbrightbotanygroup@gmail.com.
