Celebrate National moth night with an overnight woodland stay and learn about the ecology of moths at Wolford Wood from our expert.
We'll start off the evening with a communal campfire supper before setting the electric light trap and hearing some fascinating facts from David. The night will be rounded up with storytelling and toasting marshmallows.
The following morning we will re-group with David to inspect and discuss the catch assembled from the previous night in the light trap and enjoy a breakfast bap and cup of tea before heading off into the woods to adventure and explore.
Over 500 species have been recorded in this magnificent 150 acre broad-leaved woodland since Victorian times. The diverse range of species includes moths of both local and national importance. Enjoy the beauty and unravel some of the mysteries of these splendid insects.
