The course will begin by learning about the differences between these three target plant groups and the necessary vocabulary to help separate them. Keys will be used to help identify common species. This course will enable you to develop an understanding of the key features that allow us to identify members of this group and to meet many of the most common species. The course will combine identification of species on local sites, learning the required vocabulary mostly in the classroom, and plenty of time outside using a key to build confidence.
