National Insect Week returns in 2022

National Trust

The National Trust protects – and opens to the public – over 350 historic houses, gardens and ancient monuments in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In addition the Trust looks after forests, woods, fens, beaches, farmland, downs, moorland, islands, archaeological remains, castles, nature reserves and villages. It therefore plays a major role in wildlife habitat management as well as conservation of architectural heritage.

What is National Insect Week?

National Insect Week encourages people of all ages to learn more about insects.

Every two years, the Royal Entomological Society organises the week, supported by a large number of partner organisations with interests in the science, natural history and conservation of insects.
