Description	This event is now FULLY BOOKED Grasses, sedges and rushes constitute a significant proportion of our British flora. Often they are indicators that allow the recognition of different plant communities or habitats. However, they can look very similar and can thus be seen as problematic to distinguish and identify. This workshop will examine the structures and characters of each family and familiarise participants with terminology commonly used in guides and keys. By the end of the workshop, participants should be able to recognise some of the commoner species and be able to use a key to identify others. Location and Times: Location: Lyme Park Time: 10:00am to 14:30pm What to Bring: Please bring a packed lunch, enough to drink and suitable outdoor clothing and footwear. More Information and Booking: Coming soon.
