Tree Biology
If you have ever wondered about how trees sprout, grow and live so long, then this is the course for you. We will take time to understand the biology of trees and how they have become an integral part of our ecosystem. After this classroom session, we will spend a few hours walking through the ancient woodland of Nower Wood identifying trees in various stages of growth and death. During this time we will also learn about and witness the fascinating ways that they communicate with each other.
We will be walking and standing for a long period of time, so this course may not be suitable for those who find may this challenging.
