Conifers are an ever fascinating group of plants that evolved way before we had the flowering plants that we know and love today.

During this fun and interactive workshop you will have the chance to learn some of the key physical characteristics that will help you identify different conifers to family groups, be signposted to several resources that can help you with your continued learning, as well as learn about some of the ethnobotanical uses of this fascinating group of plants.
Half the workshop will be inside and half outside looking at specimens in the woodlands alongside and near the Findhorn river.

Who is the workshop for?
Nature lovers, forest school leaders, mountain guides, gardeners, tree surgeons, bushcrafters, forest bathing and ecotherapist, complete beginners… all welcome!
