Delve into the hidden world of the insects that live around and with us. Using a garden or any accessible green space nearby as a starting point, participants will be given hands-on experience with insects and their importance to us, and be introduced to new ways at looking and interacting with the world around us.
You will:
• Understand the biology of insects and their importance to us through experiential learning with live specimens
• Understand basic ecology around common community spaces like gardens and parks
• Reflect on our own ‘ecology’ within society and how we can contribute to the conservation of our natural environment
