The area is well-known for its population of the endangered scaly cricket, which La Société‘s Trevor Bourgaize said will be showcased at the event.
“We intend setting pitfall traps for Scaly Crickets, showcasing Maerl, Eel Grass and other marine biology,” he said. “In addition we will be showing the extrusion of unique St Peter Port Gabbro.”
