🐛Part 1: Setting the Trap 💡
Join us on the evening of a Thursday 28th August, where we'll be setting up a moth trap… you can create your very own leaf-printed moth art, and sweep-netting the meadows for other creepy crawlies. If any early- rising bats also decide to join us, we'll pick them up on our bat detectors. Thursday 28th August, 19:00-22:00. Some activities will end before 21:30 as it gets too dark.
🍃Part 2: Checking the trap 🌳
On the following morning, join us to see the magnificent moths we'll have caught, and another chance to sweep net the meadows and create your very own leaf-printed moth art to take home with you. Friday 29th August, 9:30-11:00.
Please note: Moths will not be harmed in this event. All children must be supervised by an adult. No booking for either part of this event is required. We'll be asking for a suggest donation of the leaf printed moth activity- bring cash. Parking- Oaklands Carpark, Oaklands Avenue TA20 1HU. There are no public toilets at this event.
