Insects in the Orchard at Lindenwald

An exploration of insect life in the Martin Van Buren orchard with entomologists from the Farmscape Ecology Program’s Insect Conservation Center. During this event, participants will learn to use the citizen science platform iNaturalist to contribute to an orchard “bioblitz” and discover the important roles that insects such as ants, bees, butterflies, and wasps play in agriculture. Participants should bring their mobile devices, cameras, and questions about insects and how to identify them. Please email kbradford@hawthornevalley.org with any questions.

Workshops start at 10 am and 1 pm, come to one or both!
