Gain a better understanding of different tree species and their ecosystems, their relationships with fungi, soil and other trees, and how we depend on them; learn about the differences between native, exotic and naturalised trees and where they might be found. This course will involve some gentle guided walks (on the level) through local woodlands to collect specimens and identify trees in leaf with Paul Nichol, highly regarded natural historian and author who was for many years Cumbria’s esteemed official County Recorder for fungi. His knowledge and insight will transform the way you look at the landscape around us.
