Welcome to the webpage for Huntingdonshire. I hope to develop this site as the primary botanical recording focus for the County. It will hopefully become a useful port of call for news, information on projects and other resources.

MAIN PROJECTS

BSBI Maps Scheme. There have already been many significant hectad updates and range extensions for a range of species. Work continues a pace to undertake as much recording as possible before the end of the current date class. For those interested in helping with 'square bashing', recording forms can be downloaded from the Recorders page of the website.

County Rare Plant Register (RPR). Recording work for the RPR fits in neatly with efforts for the BSBI Maps Scheme. A preliminary list of species, subspecies and hybrids under consideration for the RPR is available here.

Axiophytes. A draft list of axiophytes is currently being worked up. While this is not something that other members can currently be involved with you may wish to check out the Axiophyte page of this website for more information.

NEWSLETTERS

I hope to post a regular newsletter in this slot with details of interesting finds, other news and identification tips. Members are welcome to submit any material of potential interest to others.
