Explore Winter Insects with the Wareham Land Trust!

Feb 12, 2023

Come join the Wareham Land Trust (WLT) for two upcoming events focusing on local winter insects!  Both events feature Plymouth County entomologist Blake Dinius, a WLT member who has shared his knowledge and enthusiasm of the diverse local insect populations with the Wareham community at several past WLT events.

While insects may not be as obvious during the winter, they are still all around us – tucked into protective nooks and crannies or overwintering in non-adult forms. Join Plymouth County entomologist Blake Dinius on an exploration around the Douglas S. Westgate Conservation Area to look for various signs of insects. Dress in layers for the weather and wear sturdy walking shoes. Click here to register
