| Contributors to the Vascular Plant Database for Northern Ireland |
The Vascular Plant Database for Northern Ireland (VPDNI) currently contains over 730,000 records. These records have been collected over many years by a wide range of different people and organisations.
Below is a list of the main contributors to the VPDNI.
Botanical Society of the British Isles. A large percentage of the database has been added since 1997 due to the enthusiasm for the BSBI Atlas 2000 Project. The BSBI Vice county recorders have collected a huge amount of data which has been computerised either by themselves or in the Ulster Museum.
Contact details for the Northern Ireland vice county recorders.
The Environment and Heritage Service (EHS). A great deal of information has been gathered by the Habitat Survey Team as well as during the many commissioned surveys such as the Northern Ireland Lake Survey, the Fen Survey and the Lancaster University Coastal Survey.
The Ulster Museum has contributed many thousands of records through the work of the Botany Department.
