led by
James Common

Join James Common, NHSN Senior Naturalist and BSBI joint County Recorder for North Northumberland, for a morning of urban wildflowers as together, we see how many species we can find in bloom on the streets of Heaton. Wild species, garden escapes, urban invaders, we'll look for them all.

Meet outside the Canny Goat Cafe, Heaton. Grid ref: NZ 27581 65918. What three words: groom.quench.crew

Please wear decent walking boots. Do feel free to bring a hand lens or handy field guide. Together, we'll explore urban areas of Heaton and nearby Iris Brickfield Park before heading towards Heaton Park for coffee and a look at what is blooming on nearby streets. If you take any photos while attending the event, please do share them with NHSN by emailing james.common@newcastle.ac.uk.
