Collect plant data for Congleton Museum and help build the first extensive local flora database!

The Our Disappearing Nature project is based on Rev G Cartlidge’s book ‘History of Newbold Astbury’, which records flora growing locally in 1915. This project will survey the plants growing in Congleton from 2024-26 to see what has changed in the last century!
