Marvellous Moths & Powerful Pollinators: Moth Trap Opening

Discover the amazing variety of our pollinating insects and what we can do to help these tireless workers!

In the morning we will first open live traps set last night to identify the moths we have caught to later release them unharmed. Time and weather-permitting, we will take a short walk to see how many other pollinators we can find in the grassland and woodland around Burn O? Vat.

In the afternoon you can drop in any time between 1pm – 3pm to make a small bug hotel to take home (max. 1 per. family), have a go at some pollinator quizzes or artwork and view some of the moths found earlier.
This event is part of the Cairngorms Nature Festival which runs from 12 – 21 May 2023. It’s a ten day festival with over 80 exciting events across the Cairngorms National Park celebrating the incredible landscapes and nature found here.
