THIS EVENT HAS ENDED
Great Fen Summer Sessions - Meadows Under the Microscope
Wildlife Trust Countryside Centre
Wed 24th August 2022
10.30am-12pm or 1.30-3pm
Join the experts from the Museum of Zoology, Cambridge, to investigate who lives in the meadow, plus make wildflower seedbombs to take home!
We have an exciting session ahead with special guests from the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge. First, we will go sweep netting together in the meadow and record which species we find, from caterpillars to crab spiders, froghoppers to grasshoppers and much more besides. We will then choose a variety of specimens to take inside to investigate under the microscope. Connected to the projector screen, this will be a fantastic opportunity to explore these animals in greater detail, before returning them safely to their homes.
And finally, we will also be making wildflower seedbombs for you to take home. When flowering they'll feed insects and increase the biodiversity in your garden.
Why not pack a picnic and enjoy lunch here before/after your session?
