Webinar – Introduction to Grasses with Brian Eversham (online and optional outdoor)

06/10/2021

Get started with the identification of grasses in the field.

Grasses are among the most important flowering plants, ubiquitous in almost all habitats. Their structure, co-evolved with grazing animals, adapts them well to mowing as well as grazing, so they dominate pastureland and meadows. They can be daunting to start with, as they look so different from other wild flowers.

This online workshop will explain the structure of grasses, including their beautiful if subtle flowers, and help you identify common grasses in the field using a hand lens. A short guide to recognising the most distinctive species, and keys to flowering and vegetative features will be used.

There is an optional visit to Cambourne nature reserve, Cambs, on Sat 12 June in small group(s) to put your skills into practice. See ticket options.
