Grasses Identification workshop

The South London Botanical Institute

Join the SLBI at the Woodfield Community Orchard for an Identification session on UK Grasses with  Dr Maria (bat) S. Vorontsova

Woodfield Recreation Ground

The South London Botanical Institute and the Woodfield Project are pleased to present an engaging identification workshop on UK grasses. You'll learn how to recognise different grasses on our walk at the Woodfield community orchard with grass taxonomist Dr Maria (bat) Vorontsova.Dr Maria (bat) Vorontsova is a Kew researcher who studies grasses, with a particular focus on tropical African diversity, evolutionary history, and the history of tropical grasslands and savannas. By describing and classifying herbarium specimens, Bat’s work at Kew enriches our understanding of ecosystems and their function. Bat's primary research focuses on the grass family (Poaceae) in Madagascar— a long- term project that encompasses diversity and classification, ecological roles, evolutionary relationships, and uses of grasses. Bat is also interested in the history and development of classifications and botanical nomenclature. If it is about grasses, Bat would like to hear about it.
