The Species Recovery Trust is running a one day course giving participants an introduction to field identification of Sphagnum mosses and other heath and mire bryophytes.
Wilverley Bog shows a classic New Forest transition from dry heath through wet heath and flush into valley mire. It supports 19 species of Sphagnum including common species of mire and wet heath as well as several less frequent species that are classic indicators of base-rich flushes.
Emphasis will be on demonstrating characters that assist with identification in the field. If there is interest from the group, there may be opportunities to look at other heath and mire mosses and liverworts.
This workshop will be suitable for beginners and improvers alike.
Date and time: Thursday 3 Oct 2024 10:30 - 16:30
