Please note that many organisations (including the Hampshire Flora Group and the Wildlife Trust) now require prior booking for all events, and you should check that the meeting accepts guests if you are not a member of the hosting organisation (if they do, they may expect a donation).

BSBI Recording sessions: Tony Mundell is especially keen to have a companion in the field for many of his recording sessions in 2023. These are marked with an asterisk against his name. Both Tony and Martin welcome a few people to assist on any session in the field.
