Come along and learn about how your wildlife observations are making a difference to our understanding of nature.
This 1-day event will bring together biological recorders from across Worcestershire to hear about some of the exciting invertebrate projects and initiatives being undertaken in the area through a series of presentations. We will also be joined by speakers from some UK-wide invertebrate recording schemes, such as the Harvestman Recording Scheme.
This is the perfect event for meeting like-minded people and stocking up on entomology supplies and identification books! With the BioLinks project coming to a close at the end of this year, we want to ensure that you, our fantastic volunteers and supporters, know how to continue your entomology and biological recording journey. With a fantastic lineup of speakers and stands, learn what the next steps for you might be.
This event is being brought to you by the FSC BioLinks project, and will be held on Saturday 19th November 2022 from 10am until 4.30pm. It will be held at FSC Bishops Wood, near Stourport-on-Severn.
