Great to see the MicroEye at Discovery Bay last Saturday. This high-powered microscope was bought in 2019 by @SpaceIw using grant money from our IW Foundation. It’s a super bit of accessible kit, giving people of all ages a whole new insight into the Island’s hidden ecology.

Discovery Bay is back for a day in May!

This is a brilliant one-stop shop of all things nature, wildlife, science and community, with the spotlight on Sandown, the Bay in the Isle of Wight Biosphere.

It's free for everyone!
