Bringing Flowers Back - Floral Recovery in Oxfordshire

Abstract

Native plants are going extinct from Oxfordshire at a rate of about one a year, with many more species on the brink. Volunteer Flora Guardians co-ordinated by the Oxfordshire Flora Group monitor vulnerable species and manage their habitat. Increasingly seed is collected, plants are propagated, recovery plans written, and experiments and translocations are carried out to study and restore endangered native populations.
