BSBI Field Trip

Episode 1 of 5

Brett Westwood joins members of the Botanical Society on an aquatic plants trip to search for the UK's smallest flowering plant.

In the first of this series of five programmes exploring the aims and enthusiasms of society members, Brett Westwood gets to the heart of our natural history societies and finds that here in the UK they are in surprisingly good shape. The first programme takes him to the Somerset Levels with the Botanical Society, where he joins a field meeting studying aquatic plants. Field trips are the life-blood of any society and a tour of the dykes and ditches produces not only the smallest flowering plant in the UK, but also the largest cells of any British plant.

Presented and Produced by Brett Westwood.
