Monitoring plant species, the foundations of our habitats and ecosystems, is essential in understanding the effects of growing pressures on these species and our landscapes. The NPMS is a nationwide partnership project, supported by hundreds of dedicated citizen scientists, heading out annually to conduct plant surveys. This session introduces the NPMS for those interested in getting involved in the Wessex area, from beginners to experienced botanists. Find out why the scheme was developed, how the data is being used and how to become a volunteer with this important national scheme.
This event is part of the Citizen Science Showcase – organised by the Natural History Consortium, in partnership with Natural England, funded by Defra’s Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) Programme)
Trainer: Rachel Murphy, NPMS volunteer manager
