The National Plant Monitoring Scheme (NPMS) is an initiative aimed at surveying plant species across various habitats in the UK, enabling researchers to assess the abundance and diversity of plants to understand habitat health. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025, the scheme highlights the vital role of volunteers in collecting data essential for investigating the impacts of environmental pressures on wild plant populations.
This scientific survey involves participants being randomly allocated a 1km square to visit, where they record specific indicator species within semi-natural habitats. Designed for anyone with an interest in nature, the NPMS encourages participation at various levels, allowing individuals from different backgrounds to engage in plant monitoring and contribute to valuable conservation efforts.
