Queer ecology walk - Wandsworth Common

London & South East: Queer ecology walk - Wandsworth Common

Join ISEP London and South East for an in-person Queer ecology walk at Wandsworth Common, led by Connor Butler, an Ecologist and Environmental Educator. This event is open to both ISEP members and non-members.

Have you ever wondered why scientists sometimes find it difficult to locate male woodlice, how some male plants are able to change sex, or why many bird species form same-sex pair bonds?

‘Queer Ecology’ explores and questions traditional ideas about what is considered “natural” or “unnatural” by highlighting the incredible variety and complexity of life. Join ecologist Connor Butler for a guided wildlife walk across Wandsworth Common, where you will discover the fascinating and unexpected behaviours, adaptations, and life cycles of the plants and animals that exist around us. Along the way, you will learn how to use a hand lens to identify common plant and invertebrate species while developing a deeper appreciation for the diversity of the natural world.
