🌿 Join DLR Biodiversity for an amazing discovery of our insects and our pollinators at Shanganagh meadows🐞

This all-ages workshop will begin with a story, song or game to celebrate the local invertebrates of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown. We will then explore habitats using various sampling techniques and identification charts to find out what beetles, bugs, butterflies, and other critters are active here at this time of year. Join DLR and Nessa Darcy - a Creative Entomologist with a mission to reintroduce humans to their natural habitat through colourful encounters with insects: bug-centric learning experiences, socially engaged art, and surveys for conservation.

❗ Wear long trousers and closed shoes to avoid nettle stings, sunscreen or raingear as appropriate, and stay hydrated.
❗ All children must be accompanied at all times by a responsible adult.
🚫No dogs are allowed at this event.

📅 Sunday, 24 May, 11am–12pm
📍 Shanganagh Cemetery Car Park, Bray
