Dr Albert Phillimor from the Institute of Evolutionary Biology has sent us news of a very interesting project. They are looking for volunteers to record the seasonal timings of individual trees and flowering plants in our woodlands.
I know this is something we all like to chat about, and now is the chance to put our knowledge to good use. The aim of the project is to find out how spring timing varies across some of our most important habitats, and discover how changes in climate could affect our woods.

There is also a facebook page and website blog where regular updates will be posted.
