We aim to educate (children, schools, young people, clubs and teachers) about invertebrates and plants and the important roles they play in our daily lives, with an emphasis on conservation.  The aim is to draw attention to the need for conservation and protection of the environment through fun activities.

Our Workshops include

Mini-beast hunts with sweep nets & pooters, leaf litter collections & pond dipping.

They can create detailed drawings with observations and annotations of insects they find, learning about anatomy and behaviour.

They can make an insect winter home from recycled materials or  a mini-beast mansion.

All activities will be tailored to learning about the biology and ecology of insects from professionals in the field currently working on conservation projects.
