Clearwing moths are elusive and day-flying. They are under-recorded as they are often difficult to spot so join Mel Benson to learn to lure, identify, survey and record clearwing moth species.

Aimed at anyone aged 18+ who would like to learn how to spot and identify these beautifully different species of moth. This workshop will give you the skills to take part as a trained volunteer in field surveys. Details of where/when these are in Lincolnshire will be shared on the day.

This workshop includes classroom learning and practical demonstrations on the Reserve.

Whisby Nature Park

A Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust nature reserve, Whisby Nature Park is a beautiful landscape near Lincoln, full of wildlife, walks and trails. The park was created by quarrying for sand and gravel, but nature has reclaimed the pits and bare sand, creating habitats for many species.

Events at Whisby Nature Park include guided walks, fungi forays, pond dipping, Wildlife Watch (our nature club for 6-12 year old's), Junior Wardens (an introduction to conservation for young teens) and much more.
