Volunteers join a citizen science project surveying the diversity of insects found at the wetlands, with no prior experience needed. The session covers setting up malaise traps, collecting and processing samples, and basic identification, run by London Wildlife Trust staff. It suits adults 18+ or young people 11+ with an adult. Because sessions run monthly, attending more than one builds a fuller picture of what's been found on site over time. Booking is free via Eventbrite.
