Jim Langley from Nature’s Work gave the first in the 2023 Winter Series of Online Talks and Presentations, on Sunday 8th October, telling us about the different habitats and the plants we might find while out on some of our Nearly Wild Camping trips and adventures. These habitats and plants range from the high mountains down to sea level.
Jim’s talk was a trip around BritainÔÇÖs main rural habitats, illustrated with lovely photographs, and he demonstrated his huge knowledge of the subject.┬á Not only telling us the names and types of plants, but also telling us a little bit about some of their history, their uses (in some cases both ancient and modern) and some of their unusual features, like relationships with ants.
Here is the full recording of Jim’s talk.┬á
If you have any questions about this talk or the plants and habitats discussed, please let us know and we will do our best to answer; if we don’t know, we are sure we will know someone who does!
