Warwickshire, v.c. 38

Our botanical meetings will start at 10 a.m. and finish at about 3.30 p.m. or when everybody has had enough. Please bring sandwiches and drinks. Walking will be limited to a couple of miles. For the latest information about our 2024 field meetings, please see this programme or contact Anna and April.

You do not need to be member of the BSBI or anything else to come along. You can be a beginner or an expert, and just interested in identifying and finding plants. Please bring field guides and a lens if you have them. If you want any more information please email Anna and April at FloraVC38@gmail.com.

Our plans are to establish systems for recording throughout the county and to encourage local botanists to start networking again through a series of Field Meetings.

A Rare Plant Register was published in 2018 - follow the link on the right to access your copy.

2009 saw the publication of Warwickshire’s Wildflowers by Steven J. Falk from Warwickshire Museum. This was the first comprehensive account of the county’s native and naturalised plants for 30 years. The first half of the book covers the history of plant recording in the county and gives detailed information on habitats, the second half is a checklist that gives the status of nearly 1800 plants that have been seen within the vice-county.

The book is available from booksellers and from Warwick Museum, Market Place, Warwick, CV34 4SA.
