The Kent Botanical Recording 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.

It arranges field meetings and forwards records to the BSBI and the Kent and Medway Biological Records Centre.

Rare Plant Register

The group’s initial priority for recording is the preparation of an  up-to-date Kent rare plants register. The current list of plants to be covered by the register is available, and the April 2010 newsletter sets out our ‘adopt a plant’ scheme for recording purposes.

>> RPR list with English names.

In addition, the group will undertake general recording, with a target of completing a general county resurvey over the ten-year period from 2010.

The county recorder, to whom records should be sent, is Geoffrey Kitchener, working, in relation to East Kent, in conjunction with Sue Buckingham.
