How will Big City Butterflies help?

 

The project will inspire Londoners to discover butterflies and moths, and in doing so will connect them with nature and their local green spaces.

School children in a butterfly and moth workshop

72 primary school workshops in inner London and plots for butterflies and moths in school grounds.

public at a community event

40 varied and engaging community events reaching 2,000 people.
