Meetings
Every year we organise a full programme of outings to interesting sites in Wiltshire or neighbouring counties, where the leader and members share their knowledge of plants and their habitats. Please car share if possible to all of our meetings.
STOP PRESS! OUR 2026 MEETINGS PROGRAMME HAS BEEN PUBLISHED. As always, it's packed with exciting places to go and enjoy plants, their habitats and the company of like-minded folk. Do join us.
To offer a venue for a future meeting or for other field meeting enquiries please contact the Field Meetings Organiser Fran Sinclair.
We regret that we are unable to accommodate dogs on our field meetings.
