The course will concentrate on the identification and ecology of aquatic and vascular plants and stoneworts in a wide range of habitats around Kindrogan, including ponds, lakes and rivers. It will cover all groups of water plants including swamp and fen plants growing around the edges of water bodies.
Most of the time will be spent in the field studying the rich variety of water habitats in the locality. There will also be workshops on the more difficult groups such as water starworts (Callitriche), pondweeds (Potamageton), water crowfoots (Ranunculus) and stoneworts (Charophyta).
Some time will be spent looking at aquatic plant communities and the various methods of their classification.
