One of our #VolunteerVoices at today's #NPMS10 celebrations is @organicbotanic whose beautiful images often grace #WildFlowerHour on Sunday evenings.
Sue is telling us about her experience surveying for @theNPMS.
She is also an #Identiplant alumna!
@wildflower_hour
Now we're hearing the 1st of the #VolunteerVoices sessions: the best bit of the day IMO!
Chris Millett talking about his experience monitoring his 1st square (1st of 4!).
10 yrs on, he's carried out 250 surveys!
There would be no @theNPMS without fab #NPMSVolunteers like Chris.

You've heard of the birds and the bees, but what about the birds and the moths? We can all protect insect populations, and therefore birds, this #NoMowMay by letting grass grow and encouraging flowering plants.
