Eucalypt ID workshop was highly regarded and we have a waiting list for another one to be run in the future
Eucalypt ID at Mulbring
The Eucalypt identification day at Mulbring in April went ahead despite the rain, thanks to our keen participants. Our wonderful speaker, Paul Gadsby, led us through a simple workflow for narrowing down the genus and species of Eucalypt that we are trying to identify before even reaching for the key guide, making the process much less daunting. The day started with an indoor session and many samples were collectively observed and identified. Everyone went home with a collection box of samples to guide ongoing learning.
Feedback from Event survey
- Paul Gadsby was excellent tutor and supporting staff exceptional
- Nice people good topic
- I forgot my notepad and there weren't any handouts to write on (which was understandablegiven content would be going in Pauls book). Perhaps mentioning there is paper available for taking notes at the beginning of the presentation would have been great.
- Participants introducing themselves would have been good
