Your contribution

Dis­cov­er and report plants — every dis­cov­ery counts.

  • Com­plete mis­sions — search specif­i­cal­ly for rare or miss­ing species
  • Inven­to­ry areas — e.g. in 5 km × 5 km squares or with 100 m × 100 m flash inven­to­ries
  • Pho­tog­ra­phy — of plants, habi­tats, land­scapes or excur­sions
  • Pro­cess­ing his­tor­i­cal finds — dig­i­tiz­ing and locat­ing old find reports
  • Con­tribute to the book project — e.g. write texts or species por­traits
  • The work is vol­un­tary

Your requirements

  • Curios­i­ty and enjoy­ment of the plant world
  • Pre­vi­ous knowl­edge is an advan­tage, but not essen­tial


Whether begin­ner or pro­fes­sion­al — all con­tri­bu­tions are wel­come.

Excur­sion Val-Sam­puoir

Your benefit

  • Exchange in a com­mit­ted com­mu­ni­ty
