Nettle Hunt - ID Sheet Download

Let's go on a nettle hunt. Nettles may be a plant that we're inclined to avoid, but did you know that there are several different types found in the UK, some of which, despite their names aren't technically nettles at all!

Take a look in your local area and see what species you can find growing near you. 

Our printable PDF ID sheet contains some of the species of nettles that are found in the UK, including 4 common varieties to look for and one that is not so common!

Dig a little deeper...
Take along a magnifying glass and one of our woodland or hedgerow ID guides to identify any other species you may spot on your hunt! Why not repeat the activity in another month's time and record any changes you see? How do the nettles change in shape and size?
