A course on improving skills in wild flower identification especially designed for anyone involved in biological surveying professionally or at an enhanced amateur level.
By looking carefully at the structure and function of flowers you will extend your working knowledge of the main flower families and increase your confidence in using a flora to track down the more elusive species.
Visits each day to local nature reserves and other flower-rich sites will be complemented by illustrated talks and identification sessions in the evenings.
