From beautifully patterned hawk-moths to delicate wetland specialists, this relaxed guided session will shine a light on the reserve’s rich biodiversity and the importance of protecting these habitats. Katie will share fascinating insights into moth identification, ecology, and the key species that make Askham Bog such a unique wildlife site.
