The ancient woods surrounding Lesnes Abbey are the only remaining place in Greater London where Narcissus pseudonarcissus subsp. pseudonarcissus (Wild Daffodils) thrive. In addition to general recording, we will also be looking for populations of other Ancient Woodland Indicator species such as Anemone nemorosa (Wood Anemone), Carex strigosa (Thin-spiked Wood-sedge), Ceratocapnos claviculata (Climbing Corydalis), Euphorbia amygdaloides subsp. amygdaloides (Wood Spurge), Luzula pilosa (Hairy Wood-rush), Melica uniflora (Wood Melick), Moehringia trinervia (Three-nerved Sandwort) & Veronica montana (Wood Speedwell) all of which are increasingly uncommon or rare in Greater London. Suitable for beginners and experts.
