2023 County Report for VC1a
Rosemary Parslow & Liz Askins.
Liz Askins continues recording species from a couple of bulb farms which she has been visiting regularly. In September I was able to join her on visits to a few farms. I also went to a farm I haven't visited recently to see their organic vegetable enterprise. There was also an opportunity to look at a former site for Cornish Moneywort Sibthorpia eupaeous that was lost when a stream was diverted to see if there was any prospect of restoration.
I've also continued putting records on the database. We have also started a Facebook page which has engendered a lot of interest and hopefully some interesting reports. Liz is able to follow up some of these locally which is ideal.
I have also contributed lists and species information on a number of Scilly plants to the LNRS project ( Local Nature Recovery Strategy) which took a considerable amount of time, far more than the organisers suggested!
