Title: Alpine Flowers in the Alps
Date: Sunday 30th June

This one-day course will give you confidence to identify alpine flowers.

The course will also look at the broader environment to develop your understanding of alpine geology, tectonic activity and land use. The course will be run in a non-residential capacity.
The field site has been selected as an accessible location with easy access to the alpine environment with cheap transport options. The pace of the course is intentionally leisurely as clients regularly take photos and spend time making notes along the way.
