The London Wildlife Trust is staging a butterfly walk this Sunday, July 19, from 11am, at Hutchinson’s Bank, near New Addington.
Hutchinson’s Bank: a haven for all kinds of wildlife
Hutchinson’s Bank is one of several nature reserves in the London Wildlife Trust’s care in and around Croydon.
“Join us to explore this unique reserve and learn about its hugely diverse range of butterflies and other insects,” they say.
Hutchinson’s Bank is a large area of secluded chalk grassland and woodland. The walk will be led by a London Wildlife Trust staff member.
“The site is also home to the glow-worm, a bioluminescent beetle that’s threatened by light pollution and other factors. London Wildlife Trust is undertaking conservation work to help this special species flourish,” the trust says.
The Trust is offering a guided walk around the site, tips on how to improve your insect identification skills, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the reserve at what they describe as “the best time of year”.
The walk costs £10 plus booking fees, with proceeds going to the wildlife conservation charity to help it continue its work. Intended for adults, children aged 11 or over may attend if accompanied by an adult.
