Outside of the visible light spectrum, which is the part that the human eye can see, is a glowing ultraviolet wonderland normally only glimpsed by creatures with specialised eyes. After dark, and with the help of UV torches, we can get a glimpse of the fluorescent world that is usually hidden from us.
On this walk you will
-
discover biofluorescence in nature, such as plants, fungi, lichens, slime moulds, insects, molluscs and annelids
-
learn why nature fluoresces in particular colours
-
find out which equipment to use to go on your own UV hunt
-
enjoy an evening in a quiet country garden exploring nature
You will need to bring with you a normal torch and £10 cash deposit for each UV torch you wish to borrow for the evening (or bring your own UV torch).
This is a guided walk for informative entertainment rather than a structured course – there will be no foraging and identification will not be a focus.
