Join NABU on a fascinating excursion to the Materborn military training area! On May 23, 2024 from 6 p.m., we offer the unique opportunity to identify insects in their natural habitat under the guidance of NABU experts. Use cell phone apps and bring your own camera to capture breathtaking macro photos. Staff from Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences will be on hand to answer technical questions and provide tips to ensure an educational and unforgettable experience.
The approximately 100-hectare area has species-rich meadows, various forest edges with adjoining high forest, an avenue of chestnut trees, solitary trees (chestnuts), marshy areas with mounds, shallow waters and wooded sandy-gravel embankments. 420 insect species and around 290 plant species have already been mapped in the area. Among them are mosquitoes, butterflies, bugs, cicadas, hoverflies and robber flies.
Discover the fascinating world of insects with us!
Further information: Ideally, you should download the mobile app for photographing and identifying insects in advance. You will find a brief explanation of the app in the guide. You will learn everything else in the workshop itself.
If the weather changes, the activity may be postponed. We therefore ask you to provide your contact details so that we can inform you in good time if this happens.
Partner: Hermann-Josef Windeln (NABU)
Important information: This workshop is fully booked.
