We've been working with @metoffice.gov.uk to analyse 10 years of #NewYearPlantHunt data.
The analysis provides the clearest evidence yet of how rising temperatures are impacting the British & Irish flora, with knock-on effects for all our wildlife.

We're counting down to the start of #NewYearPlantHunt & just look at this map showing all the Group Hunts we know about so far, across Britain & Ireland: a record number!
Lots of family & solo hunts planned too.
How many of you will take part this year?
Can we break our record of 3,336 participants?

Here’s Irish artist James Arthur O’Connor (1792-1841) The Poachers. He was an important Romantic painter who is relatively unknown outside of the island.
