Description
This one day beginner to intermediate level training course delivered by Ben Averis will equip delegates with the skills to identify common grasses, sedges and rushes.
The training course will include some classroom based teach to introduce and explain the plan for the day. A majority of the day will then be spent in the field looking at the identification (and habitats, ecology, etc.) of the grass, sedge and rush species that are present there.
There will be a question and answer time at end of day, though questions will also be welcome throughout the day.
