In Praise of Pollinators


















New Ferry Butterfly Park was thrilled to be nominated for Defra's Pollinator Champion of Champions Award.

The award recognises excellent practice in land management to support pollinators. Schools, farms, local authorities, community groups and the construction industry were represented. The event took place on July 17th as part of Pollinator Awareness Week, designed to raise awareness of pollinator needs and highlight what everyone can do to support pollinators.

We did not win first prize but were given a winner’s certificate and we are extremely pleased to see the importance of pollinators being highlighted.

Come along to New Ferry Butterfly Park on a Sunday afternoon between 12 noon and 4 p.m. and see for yourself what is happening on the reserve.

















“Congratulations on being nominated for this award - there were 25 fantastic entries and the judging panel had a very difficult task indeed”.

Jen Taylor, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra)
