Plantlife is one of the organisations which will be on the list we will create, identifying websites of groups which may well prove useful for teachers preparing to teach the new specification.
The organisation has the following Mission:
Our mission is to secure a world rich in wild plants and fungi.Wild plants and fungi underpin the health of our environment. They can help us to resolve the climate, ecological and societal challenges which we face.
Protecting them will lead to a world full of colour, beauty and life while allowing the plants and the animals which depend on them to thrive.
Those teaching the specification might be interested in their strategy document. There are opportunities for schools to get involved in their work.
The Advice and Learning section of the website is worth visiting too.
This includes a learning section to help identify plants and fungi with an illustrated database of plants and fungi which are searchable on a number of criteria.
There is also a Meadows Hub giving advice on how to manage this sort of ecosystem. I have blogged about this separately.
