Butterflies And Moths Treasure Trail

Friday, July 22nd 2022

Can you name the common butterflies that are found in the UK? Would you like to find out more about them? What do their caterpillars feed on and where do they go in the winter?

Throughout the school holidays there will be a self-guided trail in place around the Red Route (easy access trail). Enjoy a walk and search for the clues to learn all about these wonderful insects. 

Just pick up a clue sheet from the Field Centre for £1 - it helps if you can remember to bring your own pencil!

The clues will be available during opening hours and all of the answers can be found on the back of the pictures.

You can also check the answers back at the centre. As this is a self-guided activity there is no need to book in advance, just turn up and have some family fun in the fresh air!
