Plantlife Scotland is the Scottish office of Plantlife - the leading charity working to protect wild plants and their habitats.

Plantlife Scotland is based in Stirling, from where staff carry out conservation and outreach work across the whole of Scotland.

We have been championing plant conservation since 1989 and have an enviable track record for campaigning, promoting and protecting Scotland's threatened, wild plants.

Plantlife's UK-wide conservation programme, Back from the Brink, includes many rare plants found in Scotland, such as native orchids like Creeping Lady's-tresses, or Wig-wrack, a rare seaweed found in Scotland's sea lochs.

Plantlife Scotland has a lively volunteers programme. If you'd like to become one of our Flora Guardians and help us to monitor endangered plants and sites threatened by non-native invasive species, please see our Get Involved page for more details.

Dr Deborah Long is the Plantlife Scotland Conservation Officer and more details on her work can be found on the Species Conservation page.

Su Cooper is the Volunteers Co-ordinator for Plantlife Scotland, see the Get Involved page for more details.

Matilda Scharsach is the Lower Plant and Fungi Officer for Plantlife Scotland, running projects to increase awareness of Scotland's mosses, liverworts, lichens, fungi and algae.

Plantlife Scotland and our projects are supported by Scottish Natural Heritage, the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Forestry Commission, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, the British Bryological Society and the British Lichen Society.

Plantlife relies on funding support from membership donations.
