Badock's Wood Moth Survey and ID - Friday 21st August 2026 - 20:30 p.m.

Local moths and butterfly expert Ray Barnett will lead a short walk to talk about the plants that are important for moths and vice versa - e.g. which plants are pollinated by moths.
He, along with other Bristol Naturalists' Society moth enthusiasts, will do some "dusking" - seeing what moths might be flying at dusk, and will then set up a moth trap as it gets dark and catch and identify moths.

Ray will be using his moth trap to catch and identify evening and night flying moths, then let them go.

All children (under 16) must be accompanied by an adult. If you need to leave before the end time that will be fine but please tell the organisers that you are leaving the event.

Please note we do not charge but we do accept donations.

You are advised to bring a torch and bring warm clothing as it may get cool after dark.

Any questions please contact the organiser.

Family friendly event.

No dogs please
