As part of my traineeship at the Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust I have a training budget to develop my skill set, so I
decided to spend some of it on a wildflower identification course with the
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust. My wildflower knowledge is slim to none, and I
wanted to learn how to identify plants in the wild. The course was great and I
learnt lots, especially how to use a key to identify plants – my book shopping
list is ever growing!
