As part of West Lothian Biodiversity Month, Buglife Scotland and West Lothian Council invite you to a free freshwater workshop!
Join us for a fascinating look at invertebrate life in the rivers of Polkemmet Country Park. From mayflies to stoneflies, caddisflies to freshwater shrimp, take a closer look at what’s living beneath the surface and find out what this tells us about water quality.
You are welcome to come to either session – or both!
Good to know:
• Family-friendly event. Suitable for all ages.
