About the event

We pop the moth trap out the previous night and it is always exciting to discover what we have caught! The great 'unveiling' begins at 9am, finishing between 10am to 10:30 - depending on how many species we catch.

We meet on the second Thursday of each month - weather permitting. Find us in the car park behind the Urban Wildlife Centre building. All welcome!

Address: Beacon Hill Lane, Corfe Mullen, BH21 3RX
Please use BH21 3RZ in sat navs. Beacon Hill Lane is opposite the Holmbush Inn.
