St Helena National Trust

Friday, September 23rd 2022

Today it was a pleasure to welcome two members of staff from St Helena National Trust who were visiting with Entomologists Dr Roger and Rosy Key to learn about identification of bugs and invertebrates. Back in St Helena, the Trust is carrying out an Invasive Invertebrate Project. They were joined by Vicky Wilkins, Programmes Manager for the Species Recovery Trust.

The group enjoyed a guided walk to learn about the management of the different habitats at the reserve.

There was also time for some pond dipping to identify some freshwater species.

Caddis fly larva, Pond Skaters and water beetles were amongst the catch!

It was a fun learning experience for everybody and we wish them all the best of luck with their vital conservation projects.
