Insect Identification Crawl

Join  Naturalist Aidan Craner on an interactive hike to observe, capture, and  identify the flying and crawling insects found at Clark Reservation.  

The hike will begin in the nature center to observe its large insect  displays and pick-up sweep nets and insect containers, and then go out  into the garden and continue on into the upper trails to try to  encounter a wide diversity of insects. Identification will be attempted  using guidebooks, apps, and visual techniques, and use of your own books  or identification methods is welcome. Bringing your own nets and  holders is encouraged as the Center has a limited number. 

Meet at the  Nature center at 2 p.m. on 8/7, and expect it to end around 3:30 p.m. Be  prepared for moderately rough trails and all conditions.
