Scrooby Plant Species Survey
Scrooby Gardening Club is undertaking a survey of the plant species found in the parish of Scrooby. Work started in early 2009 and will continue throughout the year. We plan to visit the site once a month the whole of 2009.
The first piece of land to be surveyed is the relict common known as the Whinz. A species list is below.
