Together last year we made >300,000 plant records in Scotland via #BSBIRecordingApp, #iRecord or #iNaturalist, and every one you collect contributes to plant conservation!
#BSBICountyRecorders ensure they go to support Red Lists, Atlas projects, open data via #NBN and more...
Thank you everyone! 🙏

A life without wildflowers is a poor one indeed.
