Together with Worcestershire Wildlife Trust and Worcestershire Biological Records Centre, we are part of Wildlife Sightings, a project to encourage more people to record wildlife across Worcestershire. To help people to learn more about identifying and recording wildlife that they may find in their gardens and local patches, we’re holding three sessions in 2024. All sessions take place in and around the wildlife garden at Worcestershire Wildlife Trust’s headquarters at Lower Smite Farm. These are open to people who submit records to Wildlife Sightings, members of Worcestershire Recorders and interested members of the public who are keen to begin recording wildlife.

Join us as we set up moth traps in the wildlife garden of Lower Smite Farm. Moth experts will be on hand to help identify what’s flying as well as advise on how to help moths where you live.
