A summary
Get ready to explore the fascinating world of conifers!
This workshop is the perfect opportunity to learn how to identify a variety of conifers commonly found in the UK. From their unique ecology to their versatile uses, you'll gain a deeper understanding of these magnificent trees.
The morning session will be in the classroom, overlooking the stunning Blairs Loch, and in the afternoon, we will walk around the loch, putting your newfound ID skills into practice with a wee test back in the classroom at the end of the day for those up for the challenge!
Who is the workshop for?
Forest school leaders, tree surgeons, conservation volunteers, nature lovers, gardeners, foragers, bushcraft practitioners, forest bathing guides and eco-therapists, complete beginners, ... all welcome!
