A series of 6 plant ID workshops will be run by Trees for Life.
The workshops will be tailored to equip volunteers with the skills, knowledge and take away resources to identify the difference between exotic weeds and indigenous plants.
The workshop sessions will be ‘hands-on’, with a mixture of field and classroom activities. Workshop participants will be provided with resources which they can utilise when they are working on ground.
Coastal groups will increase their knowledge of indigenous plants and weeds, including being able to use field guides and keys to identify plants.
Course Content:
- Introduction to general botany and floral anatomy of coastal areas
- Characteristics of the major plant families
- How to use botanical and other plant identification books
- How to use an herbarium to develop knowledge
- Practical plant identification of common species
Workshop format:
9:00am – 11:00am classroom session (Port Environment Centre) 11am – 1pm field session (various local locations).
