We recently had the pleasure of hosting a bug hunt on a Meadfleet managed development in West Yorkshire. The event had a wonderful turnout, and families joined us to discover the range of invertebrates living on their local open spaces.
Equipped with nets, pots and keen eyes, everyone got involved to find range of species for us to identify and learn more about. From leafhoppers to hoverflies, moths to snails, we found a range of critters – and even a frog!
Community events like this offer residents a valuable opportunity to connect with the nature right on their doorstep. It’s encouraging to see so many taking pride in their local wildlife. All the children were very excited and treated all creatures that we found with respect and care.
After the event, we had goodies for all to take home as a thank you for their participation, including bird feeders, wildflower seeds, activity books for the children and more. Thank you to the Residents Association for their support in organising a fantastic event, we look forward to holding more in the future.
