About this Event
This is one of three separate plant identification day courses we are running in different habitats this year. On this course you will spend a whole day exploring a woodland habitat with the aim of identifying the plants found there using hand lenses, identification guides, keys, mobile phone apps and by collecting specimens.
It would be useful if you could bring your own wildflower books, hand lenses and a phone. We recommend Francis Rose's Wild Flower Key, and Fitter, Fitter & Blamey's Wild Flowers of Britain & Ireland.
This course is suitable for those who wish to refresh or improve their plant identification skills.
The classes are led by Alex Lockton, who has thirty years’ experience as a botanist and ecologist. He also teaches our botany evening classes in Maidstone and Canterbury and runs our Plant Identification in the Field summer school. He is author of The Flora and Vegetation of Shropshire (2015).
