Horfield Common Pollinator Safari – Bees, Butterflies and Hoverflies

Led by local ecologist Eric Swithinbank.

During the session, we will explore:

• How have flowers and pollinators evolved together over millions of years?
• What adaptations help plants attract insects?
• How do pollinators benefit in return?
• What are the different life stages of butterflies and bumblebees?
• Which specific plants do they rely on at each stage of their lives?

With expert guidance, we will safely and briefly capture selected insects for identification before releasing them.

Please dress for the weather and be prepared to walk! The talk will be approximately 90 minutes.

There are limited spaces on this walk. Booking on a first come first served basis, and must be booked in advance!

Ticket prices

£10 per person, which includes the Eventbrite service and processing fees.

Cancellation/Postponing due to Poor Weather

This event takes place outdoors, and therefore unfortunately may need to be postponed or cancelled in the days leading up to the event if it seems that the weather will be too poor for it to be run safely. FoHC will always aim to confirm cancellation of the event 24 – 48 hours in advance (though on very rare occasions, sudden weather changes may mean it's closer than this). Please keep an eye on your emails for information regarding this.
