Moth Recording Mornings

Everyone’s invited to join in free monthly Moth Recording Mornings at Beacon Park this summer

Ruth Witczak, Beacon Park's Community and Education Officer, is holding a series of monthly Moth Recording Mornings at the Discovery Hub in Beacon Park.

The Moth Recording Mornings are running from 8.30am on 5 July, 2 August and 6 September.

The morning events will involve identifying all the moths that have been caught in traps left overnight at the Lichfield City park.

Ruth said: "It will be interesting to see which moths we get in the park this year, and we'll once gain be sending our records to the county recorder, so scientists can track any changes in populations over time."

Before setting off to the park, anyone who wants to come to the recording events can check that enough moths have been caught overnight by telephoning 07931891086 from 8am on the day.

All the moths will be released after the events. The Discovery Hub is next to the bowling greens in Beacon Park.
