About the event

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.
