SORRY, CANCELLED DUE TO COVID - 19

If you have a good basic knowledge of plant ID (perhaps after attending a BSBI Wildflower Families workshop) but feel somewhat intimidated when it comes to sedges and rushes, this workshop promises to help. We will explain the differences between rushes and sedges and go onto look at some of the 21 most common sedge species you are most likely to come across.

Dr Chris Miles and Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland (BSBI) tutors will offer expert guidance, helpful worksheets, plenty of hands-on study and a practical session in the field in the afternoon.

Further Information

The booklet "Start to Identify Sedges and Rushes", by Faith Anstey, will accompany the workshop and is free to participants (RRP £7.50). The workshop price includes teas & coffees - but not lunch. So you will need to bring a packed lunch. We will send detailed joining instructions nearer the time. 

Discount for BSBI Members

If you are getting serious about sedge and rush identification you will enjoy and benefit from BSBI membership. As BSBI members get a 50% discount by quoting their membership number when booking, why not join first, then book your place?!
