About This Event

Joe Crutwell opens the evening with Bringing Lessons from the Rainforest back to the North-East, followed by Ian Beddison's First Steps with 8 Legs, an introduction to the harvestmen of the North East. The series pairs an early-career naturalist with an established speaker each Monday, and both talks include time for questions. Doors open at 6pm, with talks at 6:29pm and 7pm. Entry is free with refreshments for a small donation, and talks are recorded for the society's YouTube channel.
