What is the Big Butterfly Count?
Since 2010, Butterfly Conservation having been running an annual butterfly count project to encourage everyday people to contribute to our data on the health of butterfly populations. And, as populations continue to decline, 
we need your help
 more than ever to protect these vital species! More info: https://bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org/
What is involved?
All you need is 
a quiet spot and 15 minutes
 to count and record. To encourage as many to get involved as possible, we are organising our very own 
special event
 dedicated to the count at our Forest School site, in the 
private woodlands of Rushcliffe Country Park
. You can pop along any time between 1pm - 4pm (and stay for as long or as short as like) - our qualified 
Forest School leader
 and wildlife enthusiast Poppy will show you how to record, with your own stop watch and recording sheet (access to the official app is also available, for adults who prefer to log their recordings that way!). Once you have completed your 15 minutes of watching, hand back your sheet with your recordings so Poppy can upload them onto the official database, and you will receive your very own 
official 
certificate of completion
!
As a thank you for all your hard work recording, you can stay and play in the woods, with our range of butterfly-themed 
nature crafts
, and 
butterfly information stations
. Children are also welcome to engage in 
Forest School free play
 within the woodlands.
This event is all about 
protecting our butterflies
, whilst also giving you and your child/ren a chance to 
relax, unwind, have fun and get creative in the woods
.
All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. This event is suitable for children aged 2-14. Infants under 2 can come free with a sibling. Teenagers over 14 are welcome to accompany a child, however there must also be a responsible adult present.
See FAQs below for more information. Full information will be sent out to attendees 2 days before the event.
