Our 14th New Year Plant Hunt has ended: huge thanks to 1000s of you who took part! We're analysing your records and will report back soon. You're helping us learn more about how our wild and naturalised plants are responding to a rapidly changing climate.
Results so far...
You can see all this year's plant records via our New Year Plant Hunt Results website, where you'll also find Longest Lists and most frequently-recorded plants, and can check results from previous years.
