Can you tell your Hawkweed from your Hawkbit?
Updated: Sep 30, 2025
The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland is currently looking for tutors for the 2025 Identiplant course, especially in Herts and Middlesex.
Tutors should have strong local botanical knowledge and survey experience, as well as teaching ability and an encouraging attitude, in order to support students through the Identiplant course materials. No formal qualifications however, are required. Tutors receive a fee for each student they take on for the course.
The course runs through a full flowering season (Feb-Oct), and takes beginner students through a complete introduction to 'serious' botany. It focuses on developing observational skills, teaching terminology, how to identify botanical features, recognise family and specific characteristics and use keys.

Thanks for sharing this informative article. The insights are especially useful for car owners who want to maintain their vehicle’s appearance while protecting it from everyday road conditions. For those exploring additional protection options, Paint Protection Film can be worth researching for helping protect the original paint from scratches, stone chips, and other minor damage. It’s also encouraging to see brands like Ultraguard offering broader vehicle protection solutions. A valuable and informative read overall.
