3 Minibeast Sampling techniques for Forest School – Raw Forest School Training Clip

Wanting to make more of your bug hunting activities? We’re sharing this clip from our recent Forest School Training course where I am giving a brief overview of 3 different minibeast sampling techniques, including; tree beating, sweep nets and pitfall traps.

If you are currently doing your Forest School training or already a Forest School Leader looking to brush up on your Forest School skills I hope this video helps you develop your Forest School activities and practice.
