In this course, you will learn about the biology and ecology of trees. You will use different keys for identification, look at the key features of the different families and genera of conifers and broadleaf trees. You will study specimens of different cones, foliage, twigs and bark and practise looking for appropriate characteristics to confirm species identification.

Additionally, it will cover the techniques for collecting and preserving voucher specimens, alongside ethical and legal considerations for scarce species and specimens (such as veteran trees). The course will also introduce tree pests and diseases.

By the end of the course, you will be able to: 

- Critically examine and synthesise the structural, physiological, and ecological complexities of broadleaf and conifer trees, highlighting their evolutionary significance, adaptation strategies, and contributions to ecosystem services.
- Demonstrate skills in identifying common UK broadleaf and conifer trees during winter, using diagnostic features such as bark, twigs, buds, and cones.
- Apply skills in the collection, preservation, and validation of voucher specimens.
