This week, our Eco Warriors were once again privileged to work with Tricia and Ken from Butterfly Conservation, who guided them in identifying common butterflies found in our local environment. The session aimed to prepare our children for participation in the upcoming Big Butterfly Count, a UK-wide survey designed to assess the health of our ecosystems.
Following the results from the 2024 Big Butterfly Count, Butterfly Conservation has declared a butterfly emergency, highlighting the urgent need for community involvement. We wholeheartedly encourage all members of our school community to partake in this important initiative. By simply counting butterflies in your garden or local area, you can contribute significantly to environmental conservation efforts.
Further information on how to get involved with Butterfly Conservation’s Big Butterfly Count can be found on their official website. Your participation is vital in helping to protect these essential species and ensuring a healthier environment for future generations.
