This Queer Ecology Nature Walk is part of the Garden Museum's new Branch Out programme, a series of free events and activities exploring gardening, art, floristry, plant science, history, design, and more! Join us every week for free workshops, talks, walks and more.
Did you know that scientists often struggle to find male woodlice, that male trees can turn female, or that many of London’s birds partner 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 common species and gain a new fascination with the natural world.
This gentle walk around the neighbouring parks invites all curious minds interested in seeing nature from a new perspective. The walk will start and end at the Garden Museum and last 2 hours. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and bring a drink and snack.
Our Branch Out programme has been made possible thanks to funding from Arts Council England.
