Learn to identify a wide range of trees and shrubs in leaf.
We are surrounded by so many amazing trees, but how many can most of us actually identify? Come along to Sutton Courtenay’s beautiful nature reserve and learn to identify a wide range of trees in their leafy summer state. This course is suitable for beginners up to those with an intermediate level knowledge. Visiting expert, James Warren, will cover the basics of tree identification, develop your botanical skills and understanding of terminology, as well as discussing tree hybrids and potential tree diseases and damage to trees. Perfect for anyone interested in finding out a bit more about the wonderful world of trees.

The course will consist of a theory section in the education centre followed by a practical ID walk around the nature reserve where there are a wide variety of species for you to test your skills on. Tea and cake included (please let us know any dietary requirements on booking). You may like to bring a notebook and pencil.
