Meetings 2019
As well as many local and one-day field meetings, there are now two Welsh meetings which are annual fixtures:
The Glynhir Recording Week is held in Carmarthenshire (VC44). Read a report from it here.

Rare Plant Registers
In March 2017 Wales celebrated the completion of a full set of Rare Plant Registers (RPRs).
Begun in Ceredigion (VC46) in 1978, the Glamorgan and Pembrokeshire RPRs are the latest additions to the series (many of which are available online). Meanwhile more updates are still being prepared and planned.
Training days
The last training event in Wales was the Callitriche workshop held at Llangors Lake on the 22nd of June. Attendees benefitted from expert tuition by Richard Lansdown, the author of the BSBI Handbook for water-starworts (Callitriche spp.)
