exercises in (plant) identification

... the use of taxonomic keys to identify woodland species; and a site visit to carry out field exercises in plant identification, survey techniques and evaluation. At the end of the course, participants are expected to be able to identify key woodland plant species and to feel confident at putting woodland surveying techniques into practice in the field.
Grassland Identification and Surveying Techniques
A one-day course giving an introduction to grassland identification and surveying techniques. The programme includes Phase I Habitat Survey and an introduction to the National Vegetation Classification for grassland; the use of keys to identify grassland species; and site visits to carry out field exercises in plant identification, survey techniques and evaluation.
