🔍 Botanical Skills & ID Practice

For those looking to deepen their botanical knowledge

Ideal for more experienced plant lovers, ecologists, or those working towards improving their identification skills, this walk focuses on fine-tuning observation and learning diagnostic features of key plant groups.

We’ll explore a range of habitats and seasonal interest, looking at how to distinguish similar species, how to identify plants at different life stages, and how to approach surveying and recording. We may also touch on conservation, indicator species, and habitat associations depending on the time of year and location.

These walks are educational and interactive, offering hands-on learning in a supportive setting.  You don’t need to be an expert—but some familiarity with plant names and a desire to delve deeper is encouraged.
