Britain's What's On Event Guide
Queer Ecology Walk
6 September
Did you know that scientists often struggle to find male woodlice, that male trees can turn female, or that many species of bird have been recorded partnering up into same-sex couples?
‘Queer Ecology’ aims to challenge what we think of as being ‘natural’ or ‘unnatural’ and celebrates diversity in all life. Join ecologist Connor Butler on a guided nature walk to explore the diverse and unusual lifecycles found in the plants and animals right outside your doorstep. You’ll learn how to identify birds, insects, and plants, and gain a new fascination with the natural world.
This gentle walk around the wetland invites all curious minds interested in seeing nature from a new perspective.
Please bring a drink and a snack, and wear weather-appropriate clothing.
Connor is a Queer ecologist with a decade of experience connecting people with the natural world. He has spent the past year studying dung beetles in London's parks and encourages everyone to take time to appreciate the smallest details in nature.
