Community Event  •  March 7, 2026  •  10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m
Location: Trekkers
Ages 16+  •  Limited to 10 participants

Join Trekkers’ Director of Development Nicole Pomeroy, for a hands-on introduction to entomology and insect preservation. In this beginner-friendly workshop, participants will learn how to rehydrate, pin, and preserve real insect specimens, transforming them into delicate displays like those found in natural history collections! Each guest will work with two specimens (one butterfly or moth, and one beetle or cicada) while learning the anatomy, taxonomy, and peculiar wonders of each creature. 

All materials—including pins, a foam spreading board, and a take-home “how to” guide—are provided. Please bring a shoebox-sized cardboard box to safely transport your completed specimens home.
