Trial field day October 2024

There were very few plants in flower for this trial day but despite this the following were identified (by their common names) largely from their leaves alone. This gives an indication of what we are likely to find as a minimum once the formal surveys begin. Many of the plants are good for bees and other pollinators which is encouraging.
