Recording For Beginners webinar: Why getting to know your plants facilitates recording of other species groups

Understanding plants is the gateway to identifying and recording a whole world of other species. Once you know the plants, the rusts and galls growing on them become far easier to recognise. A caterpillar nibbling a leaf is much easier to name when you know its foodplant, and countless other organisms - beetles, aphids, bees and more - have close, often specialised relationships with particular plants.

This webinar is presented by Graeme Lyons, one of Britain’s most accomplished field naturalists and the author of Pan-Species Listing: How to Become a Super-Naturalist (available here).
