Butterfly Bonanza

When: Thursday 7 June, 2012. Full day event

Where: Meet at Belfast Hills Partnership offices

Join the Belfast Hills Partnership along with guest butterfly expert Catherine Bertrand to discover the butterflies of Divis Mountain and Murlough Bay.

This course will focus on our favourite native species with particular attention on the elusive Marsh Fritillary.

Course requirements: No previous knowledge is required and everyone is welcome to the event. Ages - 6 and over. A bus will be provided from the BHP offices to Divis Mountain and Murlough Bay. Please bring a packed lunch.

Booking: Spaces are limited, so booking is required. Email: freddie.harris@belfasthills.org

The training is aimed at raising people’s awareness of the wildlife, flora and fauna in the hills.

They can learn about the nature and habitat that makes up the Belfast Hills and how they can get involved in protecting and encouraging wildlife.

It is hoped those who attend the courses will tie in with out volunteers to help monitor the wildlife in the hills.

The course will provide vital data and greater levels of species monitoring and recording within the Belfast Hills.

This will result in better understanding of the environment and positive management changes.
