A very exciting day was spent in August when Dudley, one of our trustees and also a scientist, brought in some laboratory equipment, and each group had the opportunity to discover the world of tiny creatures hiding in our woodpiles and gardens.

First they went bug hunting and collected their samples.

Then they came indoors and learned how to process these, examining them with magnifying glasses and through the microscopes. 

It was a whole lot of fun and we were very grateful to Dudley for giving up a whole day to join us.  (We think he enjoyed it too!)

There was also time to process an urgent order for five bags which were taken out to South Africa as gifts by one of our staff.  Here are the team  proudly displaying their work in making these.
