LDO’s partnership with the Butterfly Conservation

LDO’s partnership with the Butterfly Conservation

Join us on our journey to unearth the enchanting world of butterflies and moths, in your very own local green spaces.

Alongside our fun spring activities and seed giveaways we wanted to highlight the remarkable efforts of Butterfly Conservation in safeguarding butterflies and moths across the nation.

According to Butterfly Conservation…

47 of the UK’s 59 butterflies have been spotted in the Greater London area

London boasts a fantastic variety of wildlife, including a plethora of breathtaking butterflies and moths. These radiant insects can be spotted fluttering all around the city.

Get involved

Help to protect butterfly species in London by growing your own garden. Keep an eye out for out fluttering friends distributing free seeds at LDO across the spring half term holidays.

There’s more ways to get involved! Download the Butterfly Conservation’s activity sheets using the links below.

Take part in their Wild Spaces score sheet to see how butterfly and moth friendly your space us, or draw what your Wild Space would look like as the idea habitat for butterflies and moths.

Kate Merry, representing Butterfly Conservation, says:

“London is home to a surprising number of butterflies and moths and, as we move through spring into summer, you’ll be able to spot them all over the city.

“Green spaces in our towns and cities provide vital sanctuary for these beautiful creatures to feed, breed and find shelter, and help make our communities happier, healthier places.

“We hope visitors will feel inspired to create their own space for nature through Butterfly Conservation’s Wild Spaces campaign. Whether it’s a garden, a patio, or a pot on a balcony or window ledge, any action, big or small, will make a difference for butterflies and moths.”
