Wildlife lovers are being urged to join a day of discovering and counting butterflies in the grounds of a National Trust castle in Barnsley as part of a national day of volunteering.
Volunteers have been asked to come along to Wentworth Castle between 11am and 3pm on Saturday, June 8, and record the number of butterflies they spot whilst wandering around the gardens and parkland as part of The Big Help Out. By noting how many butterflies call the gardens of Wentworth Castle home, the rangers will be able to better understand what is thriving there and we be able to improve their habitat.
“We’re urging people to join us and give it a go - it’s so rewarding and it really could be one of the best things you ever do. Match of the Day host and former England striker Gary Lineker is among a host of celebrities backing the event and helped launch this year’s campaign.
