Getting Started with Cotoneasters
James Common is a BSBI Joint Vice-County Recorder for North Northumberland (VC68) and works as Senior Naturalist with the Natural History Society of Northumbria (NHSN).
Alien cotoneasters are an increasingly prominent part of the UK's flora, with over 100 species now recorded in a naturalised state across Britain and Ireland. Despite this, they are poorly studied, largely on account of difficulties in telling these diverse, variable but increasingly common shrubs apart. James Common, BSBI Joint Vice-County Recorder for North Northumberland (VC68) has now spend two years attempting to record the species growing wild in North East England. In this introductory talk, he will explore the identification of 10-15 of the species likely to be encountered across Ireland, and share tips and resources designed to inspire botanists to take their first steps in getting to grips with these difficult yet fascinating plants.
Timing
The webinar will begin at 7:00pm. You will only be able to view the video and audio of the speaker and panellists but a Q&A feature will be live throughout for questions, which we will try to get through in the course of the evening.
