Urban Flora Conference

For the Urban Flora project, a highlight of the year was the conference Urban Floras – a Contribution to Biodiversity, held at the Royal Society of Edinburgh 21st-22nd September. We will shortly make the movies of the lectures available for those who could not attend (watch this space!) and the Proceedings will be published in our Journal Plant Ecology and Diversity.
