Upcoming Events
Big Butterfly Count
Date: July 24th-Aug 1st
Location: UK-wide
Butterflies and moths are very sensitive to environmental change, which makes them an excellent indicator of the health of the countryside. Protecting butterflies means creating a healthier environment for everyone but conservation work must be targeted where the need is greatest. Marks & Spencer is encouraging its customers to take part in the Big Butterfly Count- a new nationwide survey taking place between 24 July and 1 August. Be part of the count and help us take the pulse of nature.
