Wildflower Hunt in the AONB
Ryedale Natural History Society need your help. They are planning to survey the plant species that grow in the Howardian Hills AONB.

They are planning to have a meeting of those interested early in 2009.
For updates please let Gill have your contact name, address and email if possible.
