Come and be part of a global voice for wild plants and fungi
Did you know peatlands are being destroyed to grow lots of the food in our homes? We want to change this!
Meadows have shaped our history and culture for centuries, yet most have been lost – and the precious few that remain are still at risk. But there is hope, with your support we can protect what’s left and restore so much more.
Will you help protect our national treasures?
Our corporate partners benefit from 35 years of experience in nature restoration so they can achieve real impact.

Join Plantlife experts for a Field Identification Skills Certificate assessment in South Wales.
The Field Identification Skills Certificate (FISC) is a test that assesses your botanical proficiency on a scale from 1 (beginner) to 5 (professional), with a level 6 awarded in exceptional cases. FISC levels are recognised within the environmental sector as the standard tool for assessing botanical survey skills.
Join Plantlife at Newport Wetlands Centre on Monday 1 June 2026 for this FISC assessment.
A discounted rate is available for students, unwaged and volunteers. If you have any questions before you secure your place, or want to discuss any adjustments that would support you to take part, contact rachel.jones@plantlife.org.uk.
Please note that parking at the assessment venue for non RSPB members is £5.
The assessor for this FISC is Sarah Shuttleworth, Specialist Botanical Advisor at Plantlife.
We’re pleased to partner with the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland(BSBI) as an Approved Provider for the FISC.
