Species recovery program
The Species Recovery Program is studying 56 species of plants that are representative of the special habitats we have in the Arnside & Silverdale Natural Landscape. Up to 10 plants of each species will be followed for 5 years. In addition we will be doing some monitoring of the 795 native/neophyte species (not counting subspecies or garden escapes) recorded in our area. Families such as Taraxacums, (Dandelions), with over 100 distinct species in our area have been put together as a single species eg taraxacum spp. The links below allow you to download or print the pdfs we are using for the project and follow our progress. If you would like to join in please contact Helen Rawlinson at the Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape unit email helen@arnsidesilverdaleaonb.org.uk.
