About this Event
This relaxed, friendly series of trips is suitable for beginners and enthusiasts alike and should provide the perfect opportunity to seek out, identify and admire a selection of diverse plant groups while spending time out and about with likeminded botanists. In doing so, we’ll visit some interesting places, and no doubt enjoy a wide range of non-target plants. Further sessions will be released throughout the year.
In this session, we'll focus on early spring bulbs with the aim of identifying a variety of crocus and snowdrop species before heading off in search of Siberian Squill and other species springing to life early in the year.
Questions (and identification queries) are welcome at any time by emailing james.common@newcastle.ac.uk.
Please read the terms and conditions for NHSN Education Courses and paid events before booking.
