Moth catching demo at Heartwood Forest
Discover night-flying moths at Heartwood as we search trees full of flowering catkins and investigate with light traps.
Heartwood Forest, Sandridge
Discover the secret world of night-flying moths on a guided walk with our wildlife monitors at Heartwood Forest.
Flowering sallow catkins strongly attract night-flying moths, which emerge in the early spring. Help us use light traps to attract moths drawn to search trees full of flowering catkins, and learn more about them as we identify our finds.
