The Dorset Flora Group was founded in 2008, and the aims of the group are to:
- Record plants and updating records of plant species within Dorset;
- Provide a focus and point of contact for botanists working within the county;
- Encourage study of the Dorset flora, and helping people to learn more;
- Support the BSBI vice county recorders, particularly with species of critical interest.
For the purposes of the group ’flora’ is defined as Vascular Plants, Bryophytes, Lichens, Marine Algae and Fungi.
The DFG maintains an active programme of events including field trips, training days and Dorset Wildflower Week alongside a number of projects. Meetings are open to all; members receive advance notice of the programme via email or post. Find out more about the group on the Dorset Flora Group’s dedicated page under the Local Groups menu above.
The County Recorder for vascular plants is Robin Walls
