Autumn Botany Evening Classes - Maidstone
Our Botany Evening Classes cover the Botanical identification of wild and naturalised British plants.
Wildlife Study Days are designed to help the people of Kent to learn more about the wildlife of the county. Beginners are very welcome and those with some experience will be able to improve their knowledge and identification techniques.
Nature is in trouble! Discover how you can protect wildlife for the future by attending one of our Study Days. Increase your knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of Kent’s wild plants and animals - and learn how to manage habitats to encourage them.
Our Study Days offer the chance to enhance your wildlife knowledge, identification and management skills. Our face to face courses are held outside or in our centres across the county and we are now also offering courses online. Leaders are knowledgeable in their own topics but are also pleased to discuss other points of interest as they arise. We aim to create an informal atmosphere in which everyone can progress at their own speed.
Please note that only adults aged 18 and over can now attend our Study Days. This is for safeguarding and insurance reasons.
