Arrive at Sculpture by the Lakes – 9am
Rebecca will meet you in The Makers Yard and take you to our Moth Trap to investigate the species caught overnight before releasing them. Did you know there are over 2500 species of Moth in the UK? They play a vital part in the pollination and their diversity is an early indicator of positive or negative ecological effects. During this process Rebecca takes note of all the species we find to contribute to Living Record, a conservation support tool.

Included as part of your ticket is £5 to spend in the café.
