About the event
Join local naturalists Jeremy and Vanna for a morning of exploring the lives and wonders of our insect friends. We'll take a number of approaches including sweep netting, bush beating and soil panning to get up close to the sometimes hard-to-see beasts that live on Sweet Briar Marshes. This will be an interactive session and all equipment will be provided.
Suitable for ages 18+.
Further joining information will be sent a few days before the event.
