This is to announce that we have updated the Privacy Notice for the National Plant Monitoring Scheme.
The changes relate to:
1. Volunteer questionnaires
The accumulation of hundreds of National Plant Monitoring Scheme plots across the UK, Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands is an incredible resource for climate change researchers, and a new paper out today in the Journal of Applied Ecology attempts to quantify this for the first time.
We're really excited to introduce a new member of our support team, Karen Fisher who has recently joined as Volunteer Support Officer. Karen joins us with a wealth of experience supporting volunteers and has great ideas for expanding our volunteer community.
Biological recording has long involved some process of checking or verifying the correctness of an occurrence by the community or scheme interested in the records. There are several ways in which this is done within the NPMS and the first step on this journey is with you, the recorder!
Here at the National Plant Monitoring Scheme, we are pleased to be able to make all the data collected by our brilliant NPMS volunteers open and freely accessible to others.
