You’ll learn about setting up the Malaise trap, supporting sample collection, processing and identification, as well as helping us with activities to engage visitors with the project and insect conservation.
This citizen science project is perfect for anyone who wants to be part of understanding and safeguarding our local insect populations, and especially for anyone looking to learn more about careers in biodiversity science, conservation, or develop skills in science engagement and education.
We will provide training and support around sample processing and identification- no experience necessary!
This event is aimed at adults 18+ but can be inclusive to young people 11+, who must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
