A course aiming to improve your skills in the identification of wild plants of woodland habitats including trees, herbs, grasses, sedges, rushes and some of the common lower plants as well. It will be particularly useful for anyone involved in biological surveying either professionally or at an enhanced amateur level.
By looking carefully at the structure and function of the plants you will extend your working knowledge of the main groups and families and increase your confidence in using floras and other guides to track down the more elusive species.
Visits each day to local nature reserves and other wildlife sites will be complemented by illustrated talks and identification sessions in the evenings.
The content is also appropriate for anyone wishing to contribute to their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements.
Please note that we are aware that this course runs during the first week of the London Olympic Games. There will be a TV available for anyone who wants to catch up on an event or two!
