Slugs Webinar

Tanyptera Trust

Slugs are commonly encountered in gardens, but also occur in wild environments. Despite their reputation for feeding on plants, many species have diverse diets, exhibit unusual behaviours and perform a wide range of functions in our ecosystem. Recent decades has seen significant changes in the British and Irish slug faunas. Less than half the current fauna of 44 species is considered native, so recording slugs is becoming increasingly important. This webinar will introduce slugs, their ecology, their families, and the iconic species that can be found in Britain and Ireland. Our tutor, Imogen Cavadino, has been studying slugs and snails intensively for the past six years. They trained in terrestrial mollusc identification as part of the TCV “Natural Talent” Apprenticeship scheme, and is currently completing a PhD on understanding slug and snail diversity in Britain. Her main interest is in slugs, frequently delivering talks and training courses on slug identification.Please book your space via Eventbrite and you will be sent information on how to join the webinar.This session will run on Zoom.
