We will be working in partnership with University of Kent to run a week-long botany course in 2023. On 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.
The classes are led by Alex Lockton, who has thirty years’ experience working as a lecturer in ecology at Birmingham University and Manchester Metropolitan University, as coordinator of the Botanical Society of the British Isles, and as an ecological consultant. He is author of The Flora and Vegetation of Shropshire (2015).
This course is suitable for all levels of botanist
