I am a keen naturalist and photographer and have also made a considerable study of Alderney's history and published a number of books on both the natural history and history of the island. Those still available are listed in the attached page, (click the link on the Home page or here) |

I am also the Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI) Recorder for Alderney and a Director and, for the last two years President and was , for the four previous years, Hon. Treasurer of the Alderney Wildlife Trust, since its formation in May 2002. Visitors to the island with a special interest in botany are asked to forward lists of the plants they have noted, together with the site reference, (see map available from this page) to the address given above, for inclusion in the Island botanical database. A record card with a full list of the island's recorded flora; as well as some of the books; can be obtained from me, or from the Tourist and Wildlife Trust Office in Victoria Street, whilst you are here. |

Some 1,052 different species of flowering plant have been recorded in the island since records were first made in 1824. Just over 800 of these can still be found today, a number far exceeding that of most places with a land area of less than 2,000 acres (under 9 sq. Km.). |
