Would you like to find out more about our native trees? This course at Hanninflied Reservoir Visitor Centre is aimed at those with little or no experience of native tree identification but should also appeal to those with some knowledge of the subject.
Native woodlands and the way they have been managed are an often-overlooked aspect of our history. The course will begin with an introduction to and history of native woodlands, looking at what defines a native tree and moving on to the state of our woodlands in the present day
It will focus on trees that are likely to be found in the woodlands and hedgerows of Essex and will explain how we identify trees using a combination of clues such as leaves, buds, bark, tree height and location. Simple identification keys will also be discussed.
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided. Lunch is not included however food & drinks are available to purchase from the centre. Stout shoes or boots are recommended. Please note that most of the day will be spent outside and that a lot of walking will be involved
Pre-booking is essential.
