Friend or Foe? An Introduction to Slug ID for Beginners

Robert Cameron local Conchologist will be sharing his vast knowledge of Slugs on this identification training day. The event will include a morning talk on identification, followed by a look at Slugs found around the local area to aid identification and recording.

No previous experience is necessary all skill levels welcome. Please book your place by contacting [email protected]

Note for Participants: Participant’s are encouraged to bring their own LIVE slugs to identify during the session. These should be kept in fairly rigid but not airtight containers (e.g. Margarine tubs/pots with small holes made with a stout pin or very fine nail. Not too big, though, as quite large slugs can squeeze through quite small holes.). collect the slugs only a day or two before the event, put damp loo paper in the bottom (not water sloshing around) with some food (lettuce, dandelion leaves). Large slugs should be one to a pot; they attack each other and smaller slugs!
