 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.
 
Visit the Life on the Verge website to find out more and click on "Get Involved".
