Hidden moth species thriving amongst ancient trees, discovered in Lackford Lakes nature reserve.

In the heart of Suffolk, a series of engaging and educational events have been taking place, focusing on the fascinating world of moths.

Last weekend, Warden Dayne led a school visit at Sizewell, where the children were a delight to be around. The visit was part of a collaborative effort with the wildlife club, who also focused on moths during the weekend.

Lucy Bailey, known for her work in theatre, has been actively involved in these events. She has previously run a forest school at Bradfield Woods and managed a school visit based on the Lost Words at Sizewell. Lucy has also been on a guided walk at Old Broom.

The Old Broom walk, guided by Joe, the assistant reserve warden, is a must for those who love cool trees. The walk offers a unique opportunity to explore the beauty of Suffolk's woodlands.

During these events, many wonderful moth species were caught in traps overnight. Mike from the centre was instrumental in identifying these species, earning him the title of an absolute legend among the participants.

Everyone, including volunteers, enjoyed the moth-focused activities. Lucy Bailey's garden even won the best stand at the Suffolk Show, showcasing her love for nature and wildlife.

The weekend's events culminated with a Moth ID event at young wardens on Friday. These events not only provide opportunities for learning but also foster a sense of community among nature enthusiasts.

For those interested in Lucy Bailey's recent activities in Suffolk, it's worth noting that she has been involved in various educational and wildlife-focused events, including hosting an adult learning course. Her commitment to promoting environmental awareness and appreciation for Suffolk's natural beauty is truly commendable.

At Lucy Bailey's forest school at Bradfield Woods, she fosters an education-and-self-development lifestyle centered on nature and wildlife. Beyond her work with moths, Lucy also organizes home-and-garden events, as evidenced by her best stand at the Suffolk Show. Furthermore, the young wardens, along with other nature enthusiasts, are encouraged to join the forest school to become young wardens themselves, embracing a lifestyle that celebrates the beauty of Suffolk's flora and fauna.
