It is easy to get involved, download the handy butterfly chart or the FREE IOS and Android app to help you identify each species and record the butterflies you spot.
As mentioned we have some beautiful nature spots around the park, pick a lovely sunny day and take a 15 minute stroll or find a comfy spot and join in the count.
