On Sunday August 9th New Ferry
Butterfly Park celebrated being open to the public for 20 years.
1995 was European Nature Conservation Year and
Mel Roberts, the Park’s founder invited MEP Lyndon Harrison to officially open
the nature reserve. We were very pleased to invite Lord Harrison back again to
celebrate the developments at the Park and raise our newly acquired Green Flag.
The Park’s
honorary secretary Paul Loughnane said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive
a Green Flag Award for the second time from Keep Britain Tidy and also we were
one of only 25 sites in the country to win a pollinator award, which shows our
habitat management for butterflies has also benefited an increase in bee
populations here”.
Lord Harrison was pleased to be back to see how much had been achieved and was especially pleased to see how many local volunteers were actively engaged in running the Park.
