[1]Jewels in the landscape

This two day workshop run by the Australian Network for Plant Conservation [1] will introduce participants to grassy ecosystems, their diversity, ecology and provide the skills and information required to positively identify a range of common grassland plants.

The workshop will use some of the most commonly encountered plant groups, including grasses, eucalypts and daisies, to introduce the best identification resources (printed, on-line, and interactive). You will also learn how to access the experts through the identification services of the major herbaria.

Along the way we will de-mystify identification ‘keys’, and introduce you to useful field characters to look for. The workshop is targeted at the beginner level, but will also provide a good opportunity for those more experienced in plant identification to refresh their skills.
