Natural history courses offered at Eden Project

The Eden Project will offer courses across July and August

Natural history courses will be available at one of Cornwall's most iconic attractions.

The Eden Project will offer courses across July and August aimed at people with an interest in British natural history, bosses said.

It would be done in collaboration with the Field Studies Council, an environmental education charity, they added.

Dr Jo Elworthy, chief science engagement officer at the Eden Project, said the aim would be "for everyone to learn about and reconnect with the natural world".

One of the courses would look at wildflowers, botany and identification of common and unusual species, bosses said.

Another explores tree biology and ecology of coniferous and broadleaf trees, they added.

Clare Rooney, biodiversity programme manager for the Field Studies Council, said: “With these courses, we hope that participants feel inspired to continue learning about biodiversity and use their newfound knowledge to care for the natural world."
