In this one day course we'll be exploring the HMS Native Plant Garden and lands and studying pollinating insects (especially flower-flies, butterflies and native bees) and their relationships with the native plants in the garden and surrounding forest. We'll study the life-cycles of the insects we find and their relationships with the plants. Pollination, insect herbivory and insect shelters will be our focus as we identify and study the common inset inhabitants of the Sanctuary's lands.
All participants receive training certificate. No experience is required.
$100, $75 for Members and Students
