We will be looking for any wild or naturalised plant that is flowering over the New Year period, you might be surprised how many there are, and recording the details as part of the NYPH Citizen Science project. Our route will be focussed in the northern end of Murlough NNR, including the North Point, the woodlands around Murlough House, the Spit and foreshore around to the Horse Path and through the dunes to the Back Track. This will take us through several habitats including heathland, woodland, the foreshore and mature dunes.
