Join us for an introduction to the Claypits invertebrates! 

While you might be entranced by a glimpse of our roe deer or enchanted by our lively dawn chorus, it is the little ones, the invertebrates who make up the Claypit’s richest biodiversity, with over 200 species.

Join us at the Claypits to learn more about the many exciting invertebrate species that make our local nature reserve their home, as well as some of the methods we use to survey them.

The event                 

Meet at the Applecross entrance to the Claypits, where we will introduce you to some of our local invertebrates, as well as some of the equipment and apps used to survey for and identify them. Then we will set off on a walk through the Claypits, where you are encouraged to have a look to see what we can find.

When and where

• 10 am, Saturday 16th July 2022
