Botany

The botany section has no formal outings but we link up with ornithology as part of Sark Nature Week, usually in April or early May.  The botany walks are led by wild flower enthusiasts and they cover a variety of habitats. 

Anne Haden from La Société Jersiaise is now plant recorder for Sark for the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) and visits on a regular basis during the season.  Our group links up with La Société Jersiaise and La Société Guernesiaise whose members visit from time to time.

The herbarium in our Heritage Room was begun by Marcia Marsden in 1980.  It is constantly being added to and updated each year.  At present there are more than 550 specimens.  A small library of reference books and specialist studies is available to visitors for browsing when the Heritage Room is open.
