“I think it is important to recognise the value of nettles and the role that these and other weeds play in the wider environment. I hope National Be Nice to be Nettles Week goes some way towards improving the image of the nettle.”

Garden Nettle Patch Survey

Please tell us about the wildlife in your garden nettle patch.

Don't worry if you can't identify everything in your nettle patch - just describe what you find as best you can. We are simply after a broad picture of the value of garden nettle patches this year - the results will be used to formulate a more comprehensive survey in future years.

please enter date in the following format:
dd/mm/yyyy
e.g. 23/05/2002
Location:

Ordnance Survey Grid Reference

About your nettle patch

e.g. 1 metre diameter clump at the base of a south west facing fence.
