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.
Further joining details will be sent the week of the event.
