How do scientists climb some of the tallest trees in the world and what do they study once they're up there?

Join Robin Hayward on a journey to the rain forest canopy. With live demonstrations of the specialist equipment that makes canopy exploration possible, Robin will take the audience through the clever engineering that gets scientists up off the forest floor and into the tops of the trees.

Sharing stories from their own canopy research, Robin will demonstrate some of the amazing adaptations that the natural world has developed to create vibrant ecosystems so far from the ground. From flying lizards to plants that can drink straight from the air, the forest canopy can be an alien world, full of mysteries and opportunities to learn.
