Dung beetles are a diverse group of insects that live and feed on the droppings of large mammals. In the City of Geneva, some green spaces are maintained through eco-grazing: “green mowers”—that is, sheep—graze on the grass, thereby maintaining the lawns.
Come discover the diversity and behavior of dung beetles, as well as the benefits of eco-grazing, alongside experts from the Natural History Museum and the Parks and Recreation Department (SEVE).
This event is part of the City of Geneva’s Biodiversity Strategy, which includes various measures ranging from species inventories to habitat restoration.
>>> Meeting point: in front of Villa La Grange at Parc La Grange, by the fountain.
Registration opens on the Fête de la Nature website at noon on April 15, 2026.
