The British uplands are a patchwork of distinctive and often dramatic landscapes, each with its own unique character, ecology, and wildlife. Shaped over centuries by altitude, climate, soil, and human activity, these areas support a rich and varied biodiversity that reflects their complex histories and conditions.
In this webinar, Richard will guide us through these landscapes using eight iconic plant species, each strongly associated with a particular upland habitat. These species act as ecological signposts, helping you quickly identify the type of environment you’re in.
Whether you’re out in the field or simply curious about what makes the UK’s uplands so special, this session will give you a practical and engaging way to recognise key habitats: hill, heath, moor, and bog.
Let’s begin our journey into these wild and wonderful places and meet the plants that help define them.
