 Life on the Verge surveys 

The Life on the Verge Project aims to identify the most important roadside verges for limestone grassland species in south-west Lincolnshire, Rutland and East Leicestershire.
With the help of volunteers, botanical surveys will be carried out on the 4000km/1250 miles of verge in the area over the next two years.

 

You don’t need to have identified plants before as training will be provided along with a "Life on the Verge Wild Flower ID Guide" which aimed at non-experts.
It includes a handy checklist of those wild flowers that are characteristic of limestone grassland and so indicate important verges.
