Join us at Heartwood Forest to help us find weird and wonderful night-flying moth species.

Flowering sallow catkins are a magnet for the many nocturnal moths which emerge in early spring. We'll be searching for trees full of flowering catkins and comparing the results with light traps.

This is a free event but booking in advance via Eventbrite is essential.

Don't forget

Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring sturdy footwear.

Bring a torch with you. If you have one, headtorches usually work best.

This event is suitable for children aged eight and above. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
