The ReWild Consultancy offers training courses for both children and adults in plant identification for persons of any level of plant identification skills. Recognizing plants is essential for distinguishing between desirable species and weeds or invasive species. This knowledge is vital in determining which species to nurture and which invasive ones might harm other wildlife. Moreover, many naturally occurring plant species are found in our gardens. Identifying these species and understanding their significance for wildlife is crucial for promoting biodiversity and maintaining a healthy habitat. Jackie provides insights into the naturally occurring species on one's property, assisting in evaluating their desirability. Furthermore, Jakim offers a plant identification reference guidebook and marker labels to spotlight notable species.
