How to identify poisonous hemlock- hemlock water dropwort and poison hemlock

In this film by accomplished film maker Henry Kirkwood, we return to Steve England from Outdoor Learning to hear about poisonous hemlock species and the importance of being able to correctly identify plants when out foraging. The umbellifer family of plants have a group or cluster of flowers that are arranged in a shape that resembles an umbrella. While some within this family of plants are edible, others are toxic and life-threatening if consumed. Steve talks about how to identify two particular deadly poisonous species: hemlock water dropwort and poison hemlock. Steve runs wildlife, foraging & outdoor education courses in Bristol.
