This intensive course is aimed at all those who would like to be able to identify plants outside the flowering season. It uses the Key by the course tutor published only last year following diagnostic features such as leaf shape, hairs, sap and colour to ensure that British field identification can now be comfortably carried out at most times of the year. The course will be a blend of workshops and field visits designed to improve botanical field skills across a wide range of higher plants and help professionals and volunteers alike to become more confident in identification using vegetative characters.
John Poland is a keen naturalist with a particular interest in botany and is joint author of The Vegetative Key to the British Flora (2009). He is the Botanical Society for the British Isles Referee for Vegetative Identification and works as a freelance botanist.
