The Community Woodland group ran a Spring Plant Hunt last Saturday (31 May).  At the start we made sure that all the people who would be recording observations had the app iNaturalist installed on their phones and that they could carry out an observation.  As the app is so easy to use we started to get results coming in to our project within seconds.  We then split into groups and tried to cover the whole woodland.  90 minutes later we congregated on the grassed area on Birch Drive where we viewed our results coming into the project over a lovely cup of tea/coffee and much enjoyed cake.

We would like to thank all the volunteers who turned up for our Spring Plant Hunt. We had fantastic results and hope you had fun gathering them. During the day our groups of volunteers managed to make over 169 observations covering 78 different species.  We would like to give a special thank you to the members of the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) who helped with the identification of the many plants we observed and imparted so much knowledge; and to the volunteers from the woodland group who provided the lovely refreshments.
