Training and Courses

Vegetative plant identification

Winter 2025/26 - Exeter, Devon

Enhance your vegetative plant identification skills and survey confidence over the winter. We are running three day courses between September 2025 and April 2026 allowing the opportunity for learning and progression out of the survey season. The aim being to start the survey season with a set of skills that will continue to be useful throughout the year.

We will focus on the species of lowland habitats in the SW of England and emphasis will be placed on species that act as indicators in these habitats. The course will also involve lots of vegetative grass ID!

To enhance the learning experience there will be a maximum of 10 people per course date.

7th October 2025 - £100

2nd April 2026 - £100
