Huge thanks to thousands of you who take part in our New Year Plant Hunt -
you're helping us learn more about how our wild and naturalised plants are responding to a rapidly changing climate.
Did you take part in the 2025 New Year Plant Hunt (NYPH)? Maybe you've been with us since the very first Hunt?
We'd like to say thank you to all of you - we couldn't do it without you!
We'd also like to say a massive thanks to the NYPH Support Team, who work tirelessly behind the scenes at nyph@bsbi.org.
Thanks also to all the organisers of Group Hunts - they are always a great way to get started with plant hunting.
