Botany at Bear Mead

Mike Faherty from the BNSS walked round Bear Mead on 4 Jul 2013, and has just sent me this list of flowering plants he spotted. He told me "I'm a member of Bournemouth Natural Science Society, and occasionally lead Botany field trips for members. We're always looking out for new locations for botany field trips. Any chance of a trip to your reserve? Guided, even? We are not professional botanists, basically plant-lovers. [Afterwards], a plant list for Bear Mead. A couple of notes - We generally don't do grasses; We only include plants in flower; The couple of items in red are less common."
