This 2-day course will introduce learners to indicator plant species of Lowland Priority Open Habitats using botanical keys to enable recognition. As we observe and discuss indicators for degraded or remnant conditions of these priority open habitats, we can make informed decisions on the most suitable locations for woodland creation.
