Introduction to Willows with Brian Eversham

Learn about the willows you are likely to encounter in your area

Willows are our most important family of wetland trees and shrubs. The day will introduce the ecology and importance of willows for conservation. Often considered a ‘difficult’ group, a single day is sufficient to become familiar with the principal species and common hybrids in our area. By looking first at samples of the ‘pure’ species, a simple-to-use key to the local species should enable participants to identify most species quickly and easily.
