DFG maintains an active programme of events including field trips and training days alongside a number of projects. Meetings are open to all and members receive advance notice of the programme via email. The DFG newsletter is called The Dorset Heath and the latest issue is now available.

If you would like to join the Dorset Flora Group, please complete and return a Recorders Register Opt-in Form either by post or email, ticking the Dorset Flora Group box. You may also like to sign up to receive other information from DERC. All members are welcome to sign up to theDFG WhatsApp groupby sending your mobile number to Jean and Tom.

If you are interested in helping with the Dorset Rare Plant Register please email Robin Walls or call him on 01305 852444. Robin is the County Recorder for vascular plants and he is BSBI vice-county for Dorset. His recorder notes give plenty of ways in which botanists can hone their botanical skills on difficult species. For those of you who are not so confident, still learning, or a bit rusty on your plant identification, joining in with the recording days is a good way to improve your skills. When you are ready to submit your data, there are notes on Living Record below plus recording forms and other useful resources.

In addition to our programme of events we are compiling a list of botany-related talks, walks and workshops within Dorset and online run by other organisations. Please find this list here
