If you have never attended one of our Area Meetings, you are missing out!
These meetings are not just aimed at people who undertake the butterfly monitoring (transect) walks in the area: they are for anybody interested in butterflies.
Our Records Officer, Bill Shreeves, gives an illustrated talk at each meeting. Part of it covers how the butterflies in the area fared over the last year, and the other (repeated at all four meetings) covers the situation across Dorset. Also included are the results of the Wider Countryside Scheme and the Garden Recording system.
Bill looks at which species have done well, and which have done poorly, and talks about the possible links to the weather, land management and other factors involved.
The four meetings are all listed on our Events page, but in brief:
West Dorset and Portland – Saturday 20 February, 2.00pm
East Dorset – Friday 4 March, 7.30pm
South Dorset – Thursday 10 March 7.30pm
North Dorset – Friday 1 April 7.30pm
See you there!
