The Botanical Skills Northern Ireland Project will be facilitating a training event with Mel Flexen on the botany and ecology of lowland raised bogs at Peatlands Park from 10:00am to 4:30pm on Wednesday 5th November. We may finish earlier depending on the weather.

There will be a short indoor session (1 hour+) in the morning giving an introduction to bog habitats and key plant species. This will include basic identification of Sphagnum species and other peatland bryophytes. The rest of the day will be field-based at Peatlands Park, looking at the bryophytes and vascular plants found on the active bog and associated habitats.
