In June 2025, I took the Field Studies Council exam and achieved Field Identification Skills Ceritificate Level 3.
It could have been Level 4, as I’m quite knowledgeable about flowering plants – with the exception of grasses and sedges.
That’s why I’m currently working on expanding my knowledge in those areas and will retake the exam in 2027.
My wife and I took part in the conference of the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland on 23rd November 2024 and flew to London especially for it.
We were not just there to listen, but also to exhibit and took part in a flash talk. We presented a demo version of our co-written jacket pocket booklet at the conference: First Aid using Wayside Plants. We were looking for a British publisher of our successful book ‘Notfallapotheke aus und in der Natur’, which is about to go into its 2nd edition.
My wife and I took part in the National Biodiversity Network Conference on 21st November 2024.
At this conference we were also looking for a British publisher for an English version of our successful book ‘Notfallapotheke aus und in der Natur’ (First Aid using Wayside Plants), which is now in its 2nd edition.
If you happen to know someone who could provide me and my wife (or one of us) with a job under a sponsorship license, that would be a huge help in bringing us a decisive step closer to our dream of not just hiking in the UK, but living in the UK. We would greatly appreciate any information or help. Please do not hesitate to send a message to green@waysidetreasures.uk if you have a hint for us.
