Wild flower basics - getting started

This half day session is for anyone who is interested in wild flowers and wants a helping hand to get started making sense of the great variety to be seen in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or elswhere. We’ll cover a range of important topics including:
  • key parts of the plant to look out for to help identify them
  • quick and easy tips to help you identify a range of plants
  • how best to use a wild flower book to help your identification
  • practice using a hand lens
You’ll get a good bit of practice at identification with plenty of help and we’ll also have a good stroll around a number of different habitats identifying the plants we find.
 
We have a supply of hand lenses and wild flower books if needed.
