Learn more about butterflies and moths at local wildlife events during July

Butterflies and moths are the stars of the show with the events that Suffolk Wildlife Trust’s Woodbridge Wildlife Group has planned for this July.

On Saturday 13 July the group invite you to join them for a Butterfly Walk to the ancient Bonny Wood near Barking starting at 2 pm.

“We are meeting at Barking Tye Village Hall from where we will take the 15-20 minute walk along public footpaths to this delightful reserve “ said Phil Smith, Chairman of the SWT Woodbridge Wildlife Group. “Bonny Wood is part of Barking Tye Woods, a site of special scientific interest and, weather permitting, is a good place to spot a range of butterflies.  We’ll also be on the lookout for woodland flowers and birds.”

The walk starts from Barking Tye Village Hall car park, IP6 8HP (TM 076524). Participants should bring binoculars and wear strong and waterproof footwear, as this reserve can be wet and muddy. Places on this walk are strictly limited and must be pre-booked by contacting Suffolk Wildlife Trust.  The cost is £5 per person with under 25’s free, and bookings can be made online through www.suffolkwildlifetrust.org  (events section) or by telephoning them on 01473 890089. 

The walk is suitable for children over 10. Dogs are not allowed on this walk.
