30 years of moth trapping at Woods Mill
On a Wednesday evening, rain or shine, Bob puts out a moth trap in the Woods Mill Nature Reserve garden. Come Thursday morning, the trap is checked, the moths are studied, identified, logged and released. This is Moth Club, and it's been happening here for 30 years.
In our video, Bob Foreman and Millie Brand of the Sussex Biodiversity Records Centre talk about moth trapping at Woods Mill to celebrate the milestone of this amazing monitoring (2.20min watch).
