The charity and our membership and activities have grown rapidly over the last five years through two rounds of strategic change. There is continued strong demand for our data, expertise and skills, creating opportunities to develop our projects and partnerships. We need excellent administration in place to ensure we are deploying our capacity and resources in the best way to support the Society and our members, and to advance the understanding and appreciation of wild plants.
