Identifying woodland plants is a course for those wishing to develop their skills in woodland plant identification, concentrating not just on trees and the more colourful woodland herbs, but also on the traditionally difficult groups such as woodland grasses, sedges, mosses, liverworts and ferns.We will visit a variety of different types of woodland to allow us to see a range of woodland species. This may include typical base-rich, species-rich lowland woodlands, sessile oak woods with a distinct ‘upland’ feel to them, wet alder woodlands, a range of scrub communities and secondary woodland. We will discuss aspects of how woodland plants are adapted to succeed in their environments and the communities of plants often found together.
What will be covered during this course?
The course will be delivered through a combination of seminars, laboratory identification sessions and practical fieldwork
Major families of common woodland plants
Ancient woodland indicator species and similar species
Collecting and surveying woodland plants
Observing voucher specimens of woodland plants for reference
This is a 4 day course. There are two booking options for this course. Please refer to our website for further information and to book.
