About this kit

Conducting a plant survey can help you gain insights into the species that exist in your area and can help you work out the best management regimes for your green space.

Knowing the plant life in your area can also help you identify the potential invertebrates that inhabit it. For example, most butterflies have specific food plants.

This kit contains:

  • Quadrats x 4
  • Magnifier x 2
  • FSC Plant ID sheets x 10
  • Plant ID book 

The items in this kit come in a handy carry case, pictured below.

    After borrowing this kit, you may wish to sign-up for SWT's Wilder Communities (www.surreywildlifetrust.org/get-involved/projects/wilder-communities).
