This Grasses, Sedges and Rushes course will provide you with an understanding of the importance of these species for conservation, ecology and recording.
The countryside around the Preston Montford Centre offers a great range of habitats to explore from roadsides and improved grassland to moorland, water margins, fen, calcareous grassland and woodland.
