About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours

Ferns are a group of vascular plants that reproduce by spores. They do not have seeds, nor do they flower, making them a fascinating group of plants to learn about.

Robin Walls is the county recorder for vascular plants in Dorset and has a wealth of knowledge about flora. He is heavily involved in the Dorset Flora Group and is a tutor for the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland’s Identiplant programme. Join Robin in this one-day course to share his passion for plants and discover the ferns growing in the ancient hedgerows and droves of Kingcombe Meadows.

Price: £40 per person. All money raised helps to support the vital conservation work of Dorset Wildlife Trust, protecting wildlife now and for future generations to come.

Times: 10am to 2pm.

What to bring: A hand lens, identification books if you have them, a notebook, appropriate clothing and footwear.
