The Damasonium alisma or Starfruit, classified
as Endangered and a priority species on the UK Government’s Biodiversity Action Plan, which has almost disappeared in
Britain was found by Dr Alan Schowler in both Daisy Pond and Mannings Pond (Downley Common). A group of
conservationists are making a last ditch attempt to establish a population at Greenham Common in Berkshire. See
also Starfruit.
One of the objectives of the Friend of Naphill Common is to carry out surveys on animal and plant life found on the Common.
This could be carried out by a mixture of professional bodies or individuals and members of Friends of Naphill Common who have either an interest or just happen to see something on the Common.
