Walk & Talk: Weed or Wildflower? An introduction to plant ID at Stonepit
What makes a weed? Come along on this guided introductory identification walk on Wednesday 14th May to find out!
We will delve into the world of wildflowers, learning more about what grows in our parks, and why some of these are classified as "weeds". This leisurely guided walk will be led at one of our most biodiverse parks for wildflowers, Stonepit Field, so there will be plenty of opportunity for you to enhance and practise your identification skills.
We recommend this walk for beginners in plant ID.
The pace of this guided walk will be leisurely. There are no paved footpaths at Stonepit Field, we will be encouraging visitors to walk in longer grass, on uneven chalky terrain, and on shorter cut grass. There are no benches on this route, and toilets are also not available within the park. The closest toilets are located at the Milton Keynes Arts Centre (during their opening hours) or the Oakridge and Great Linford local centres. A hearing loop is available on request. Please contact us on outdoorlearning@theparkstrust.com for any further accessibility information or support.
This walk is suitable for anyone age 12+ with an interest in plant identification. All under 18s must be accompanied by a paying adult. Booking is essential.
