County Recorders
VR15 East Kent: Geoffrey Kitchener and Sue Buckingham
VC16 West Kent: Geoffrey Kitchener
Kent Botanical Recording Group
The group was formed in March 2010 for the purpose of being a focus for the recording of vascular plants in Kent by: providing a means of contact and communication, open to all who are interested in botanical recording in Kent; and liaising with and supporting other natural history organisations with relevant interests.
KBRG arranges field meetings and forwards records to the BSBI and the Kent and Medway Biological Records Centre.
Having completed a general county resurvey over the ten-year period from 2010, the group is following up issues from that survey and focusing on Rare Plant Register records and Kent Biodiversity Strategy species.
