Course: Plant Identification in the Field
Kent Wildlife Trust
Five days learning to identify and record wild plants in nature reserves in Kent.
We will be working in partnership with University of Kent to run a week-long botany course in 2025. Each day of this course a new site is visited and explored with the aim of identifying plants by using identification guides, keys, apps and by collecting specimens.
It would be useful if you could bring your own wildflower books keys and hand lenses. We recommend Francis Rose's Wild Flower Key, and Fitter, Fitter & Blamey's Wild Flowers of Britain & Ireland.
Led by Alex Lockton, who has thirty years’ experience as a botanist and ecologist. He also teaches our botany evening classes in Maidstone and Canterbury and runs our Plant Identification Days.
Fees apply and booking essential.
The cost for this five-day course is £215 per person.
