This introductory course is aimed at anyone who loves plants and enjoys finding out more about them. A diverse range of mountain, lowland and coastal sites around Snowdonia National Park are easily accessible from Rhyd-y-creuau, and will be explored over the course. This is an excellent way for people to see North Wales as well as learn about some its special plants and habitats.
The course will cover the sometimes confusing structure of plants and flowers in a clear simple way, concentrating on those features which aid in their identification. There will be an introduction to using field guides and keys and on completion of the course participants will feel much more confident about tackling the identification of previously unseen plants. Excursions will cover a wide range of habitats found in North Wales from wetland sites on Anglesey to the limestone of the Great Orme.
The course complements Chris’s weekend course on ferns and participants may choose to link the two courses together.
Chris Metherell is the BSBI (Botanical Society of the British Isles) County Recorder for Northumberland and an experienced botanist. He regularly leads field trips for the Wild Flower Society and other interested groups.
