An advanced bryology course for experienced enthusiasts to explore special techniques, critical species and new developments in their subject. Emphasis will be placed on indoor work, using microscopes, backed up with short field excursions to provide an insight into topics of ecological significance. A special feature of this course is that it will be geared as closely as possible to the wishes of individual participants, who will be invited to submit details of the bryology topics they would like to have included.
