Eddercup'en - in Augustenborg Forest

DN Sønderborg is participating in an activity under the State Museum of Natural History, where volunteers help researchers search for spiders in the leaf litter of the forest floor. The goal is to contribute new knowledge about Danish spiders and their habitats.

The meeting point is the car park at the northeastern end of the forest. After a brief introduction, we walk together to a suitable spot in the forest, where we collect spiders that are subsequently sent to the State Museum of Natural History. The researchers will identify the species via DNA analysis, and participants will receive feedback with the results from Augustenborg Forest.

The activity is part of the project 'Our Wild Nature', which is run by the Danish Nature Agency, the Outdoor Council, and the State Museum of Natural History, and is supported by the Aage V. Jensen Nature Fund and the Nordea Foundation.
