Assess the Health of our Ecosystems
Moth Monitors help biologists understand how vulnerable or resilient our food webs are, by studying lepidoptera species; the base of our ecosystems. Monitoring is fun and easy. Get your family and friends involved to discover the magic of insects and the night!
New: You can sign out a Moth Monitoring kit, which includes a white sheet, easel, black light flashlight, laminated moth ID key, and monitoring sheets. Pick up is at The Land Between office at 6712 Gelert Road, Haliburton, or at our partners of the Ontario Woodlot Association in Lindsay.
Thank you for your interest in participating in our community science program.
Moths are incredibly important food sources for so many animal, but especially for birds. They are also important pollinators. Moths are specialized to certain native plants. A healthy habitat and ecosystem means there will be many moths and diverse species.
Take our interactive online training to help track these indicator species in The Land Between bioregion.
