Introduction to Invertebrates is a half-day workshop that introduces learners to the world of invertebrates. Learners will gain an understanding of basic invertebrate morphology and take a whistlestop tour through the various groups of invertebrate that they might observe in their garden or local greenspace. In the field, learners will practice using an identification key and hand lens to differentiate between the different invertebrate orders.
