Did you know there are around 2500 moth species in the UK? Join us to find out which of these marvellous moths visit Walthamstow Wetlands over night.
For this early morning event, we'll be discovering and identifying what we've been able to catch in our moth trap put out the night before.
Please meet your friendly workshop leads at the main gate on Forest Road at 7.45am
This walk is for over 18s and children over 12 accompanied by an adult. The event will take place in a seated area outdoors.
Please note that the moths we are able to collect in the trap will be dependent on the weather conditions.
Be sure to check the weather forecast in advance and dress in appropriate clothing for the weather conditions. The event might be cancelled at short notice in very windy or rainy weather.
All profits from this event are invested into London Wildlife Trust’s conservation and education work and the care of its nature reserves.
