Discover an invisible natural world on a night time adventure and experience nature in a whole new light. We’ll explore and discover a different perspective on nature as it glows in the dark creatures under the light of a UV torch.
This is a new and emerging conservation technique; join us as we make new discoveries together. Nature is never predictable, but highlights could include glowing slugs, mushrooms and lichens. As the sun sets you will head off along trails to explore an unseen natural world. The route will be approximately 1km and will be along our main visitor paths.
This event will use UV torch light to view nature at night. If you have a high sensitivity to light, please take this into account when deciding to book this event. Please inform staff upon booking. Safety glasses will be available for use during the event.
