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 while looking 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.
That doesn’t just mean that community organisations have less capacity, it also means that too few people are getting the huge benefits of volunteering - it’s good for your mental health, good for self-esteem and a great way to meet people too. “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.
