Dorset: MOTH TRAPPING AND GUIDED BUTTERFLY WALK - RYEWATER

We have been invited back to Ryewater for a weekend of mothing and a butterfly walk on this fascinating and inspiring estate.

We will be setting up moth traps in a number of different places on the Friday evening – meet at 7.30 pm and bring a tent if you would like to stay overnight.

Map reference for parking and camping in the ‘R field’ is ST 664 108.

On the Saturday morning we will be going through the moth traps from 6.30 am.

The guided walk to look at the butterflies and other wildlife will start at 10.00 am.

Note the time changes.

There will also be access to the greenhouses to see the tropical butterfly collection.

Please let us know if you plan to camp overnight. If you would like to stay for a picnic lunch at the end of the walk, you would be welcome.

Contact for these events is Wren Franklin on 07776 100613

It would help us if you could book with the walk/talk/work party leader in advance. This does not commit you to turning up, but it means that if we have to cancel the event, we can contact you to tell you this. We may use your email address to contact you immediately after the event, but it will not be held for any future purpose
