Butterflies at Parke

Join us for a gentle walk to discover Parke's butterflies and help contribute to the Big Butterfly Count

  • Booking essential
  • Free event

An informal guided walk around the estate to explore these fascinating and beautiful insects. Learn how to identify Parke's species and find out how you can help to record the butterflies you see too. As we go we will record what we find to feed back into the Big Butterfly Count organised by the charity Butterfly Conservation.

Butterflies are a key indicator to the condition of our biodiversity, so the more we understand the more we can help make a difference.
