Join us online for the Botanical Skills Northern Ireland Project for a talk with Tim Rich on Irish hawkweeds.

In 2026 a key to Irish hawkweeds (Hieracium) was published as a free pdf (available here: https://bsbi.org/learn/resources/identification-guides/irish-hawkweeds-key) funded by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency and the National Parks and Wildlife Service. The key summarises the available information on the 73 species into one place with taxonomic notes, photographs, drawings and distribution maps. In this talk the key and associated identification spreadsheet are introduced and the leys demonstrated.
