About the event

Join moth enthusiast Katie Andrews and Yorkshire Wildlife Trust for a special members-only moth trapping morning celebrating the reopening of Askham Bog Nature Reserve. We’ll gather around moth traps with the morning light to discover the remarkable nocturnal species that call Askham Bog home. 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.

Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, families, and anyone curious about the hidden world of moths. Warm clothing and sturdy footwear are recommended, and all moths will be released unharmed after observation.
