Confused by conifers? Perplexed by pines?
Following the Winter Tree ID session in November, we are excited to again host James Kendall, creator of The Complete Tree ID Course, as he takes you through his tips, tricks, rhymes and hints for telling commonly seen conifers from each other!
In this interactive workshop you will go from clueless to confident in being able to identify between our native and common non-native conifers...
Conifers can sometimes be considered 'harder' to ID than broadleaves, but if you learn to look closer you will discover easy to spot signs with which you can tell species apart. The session will include:
- Understand easy differences between pine, spruce, fir & more
- Get to know Britain’s three native conifers
- Gain confidence in identifying non-native conifers of forestry
- Dive into foraging & wild food uses for conifers
- Unlock traditional and modern uses of conifers
- Join in our Q&A Session
The event is delivered online through the Streamyard platform, with lots of opportunity for the audience to put questions to the speaker. Streamyard requires nothing to be downloaded onto your computer, we will send a joining link out to signed up attendees in the day before the event.
The event is delivered by Dumfries & Galloway Woodlands, a charity supporting trees, habitats and the people that depend upon them in the region. For more information, visit www.dgwoodlands.org.uk.
Event possible thanks to support from a wide range of partners, including The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Scottish Forestry, Woodland Trust Scotland, and others.
