About the event

Part of the afternoon will be spent undertaking a pollinator survey, sitting or kneeling, observing certain species of flower to see how many pollinators land on them in a set amount of time.

We will also be using sweep nets to see what insects there are in the dunes, taking a closer look at the variety of life that call these dunes home.
