Do you manage or curate a botanic garden, historic garden or arboretum in the UK?

If so, we are sure you are aware of the increasing risks plant pests and diseases pose to your collections. In order to learn more about the steps you are taking (or would like to take) to minimise damage by pests and diseases, BGCI’s International Plant Sentinel Network (IPSN) is carrying out a survey of UK plant collections.

We would very much appreciate if you could spare 15 minutes to complete the survey. Ideally, we would like one response per site.

The survey is available now and the deadline for submitting responses is February 24.

Thank you for your assistance – the results of the survey will help to guide the future development of biosecurity resources to support UK plant collections.
