Course: Woodland Plants - Identification & Survey
The Species Recovery Trust
A 1-day course giving participants;
- the skills and confidence to identify a wide range of woodland plants (including grasses and bryophytes)
- the knowledge to carry out Phase 1 and NVC woodland survey
This course will introduce participants to roughly 40 of the most familiar (and some rather unfamiliar) woodland flowers, grasses, bryophytes, shrubs and trees in the stunning RSPB reserve at Garston Woods, near Blandford Forum, Dorset. The day will cover recognising ancient woodland indicator species, a brief look at different management regimes and their effects on woodland ecology, and survey techniques for Phase I and NVC.
At the end of the day participants will have the chance to carry out a mock survey in groups to test their skills.
