What do you record?
Vascular Plants (ie all flowering and some non-flowering plants, such as ferns), butterflies and moths.
What do you think of Bioblitz?
It is a good opportunity to make the public aware of the importance of Natural History Recording and to encourage them to take part.
Do you have a fascinating New Forest wildlife fact?
Not ALL the Forest is acid heathland/woodland - in the southern half of the Forest are alkaline deposits that support a number of plants normally found on Chalk.
How did you become interested in wildlife?
My interest partly results from being brought up in a large, somewhat unkempt Hampshire garden which had LOTS of wildlife and partly from the encouragement of I-SPY and OBSERVER books to try and find out what everything was. Also being given my first microscope which rendered pond life absolutely fascinating!
