Andy Byfield has a long-standing interest in botany, including the flowering plants traditionally associated with arable farming, some of which have become very scarce due to changes in agricultural practices. He has been involved in botanical research and conservation for many years and helped found the charity Plant Life. Recent years have seen increasing interest in our native flora and measures such as the restoration of wild flower meadows and changes in the management of roadside verges to allow species to flower and shed seed.
