Botanical Skills NI: New Year Plant Hunt (NYPH) at St Columb's Park, Derry

The Botanical Skills Northern Ireland Project will be holding a New Year Plant Group Hunt in St Columb's Park, County Derry on Saturday 2 January.

By recording the wild plants in flower in the depths of winter, we will help gather valuable data about how our wild or naturalised plants are responding to a changing climate, and how this might impact the other species that rely upon them.

More information about the BSBI's New Year Plant Hunt can be found here.
