Moth catching demonstration at Heartwood Forest
Discover the night-flying moths of Heartwood Forest as we investigate which species we can find with help from light traps and flowering trees.
Heartwood Forest, Sandridge
Grab your torches and join our expert wildlife monitors at Heartwood Forest to discover the wonderful world of night-flying moths.
Flowering sallow catkins act as a magnet for moths emerging in early spring. Come along to help us search the trees for different species and compare what we find to the moths drawn in by light traps.
This is a free event but booking in advance via Eventbrite is essential.
