SUMMARY:Mollusc Field Recorder Day
DESCRIPTION:Join Imogen Cavadino-Phillips to explore and record the molluscs of Lesnes Abbey Woods.\n\n\n\nMolluscs are an ecologically important and often overlooked part of the UK’s terrestrial invertebrate fauna. Slugs and snails play key roles as decomposers\, herbivores\, prey\, and even soil engineers\, helping to break down organic matter\, recycle nutrients\, and support food webs. Many species are sensitive to microclimate\, soil chemistry\, and vegetation structure\, making them also highly informative indicators of habitat condition. From a conservation perspective\, recording molluscs on a site provides valuable insight into ecosystem health\, and long-term environmental change. Because several species have narrow ecological tolerances or are nationally scarce\, documenting their presence can help identify high-quality or threatened habitats and support evidence-based site management. \n\n\n\n\nJoin like-minded nature enthusiasts for a day of finding\, identifying and recording slugs and snails. Naturalists of all levels (from total beginner to expert) are encouraged to attend\, share their experiences with peers and help one another improve their knowledge and build confidence in biological recording. Mollusc specialist Imogen Cavadino-Phillips will be leading the day and providing guidance throughout. \n\n\n\n\nWhat will the day involve?\n\nHands-on experience using different methods to find and record slugs and snails.\nGuidance on identifying mollusc species in the field where possible\, and understanding which specimens require further examination under a microscope.\nA chance to connect with like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds who share an interest in entomology and wildlife recording.
