This is a project to install chalk dressed butterfly banks to support a range of butterfly species which, alongside conversion to areas of long grass/meadow nearby, will offer greater landscape connectivity. Following successes with similar installations in London Borough of Croydon, idverde was approached by London Wildlife Trust about their joint Brilliant Butterflies project with Butterfly Conservation. The London Borough of Bromley was identified as a key area which has a wide range of lepidoptera; there will be benefit from enhanced landscape connectivity to positively promote lepidoptera species and reduce their decline. idverde has arranged an on site visit with the Secretary of the Warren Road Friends and a couple of its members who are interested in the project and volunteering. Richard Gibbons, the Chair of the Green Street Green Common Friends group, has also been invited, although this group is not yet established with proper volunteer support as yet. Following the meeting a map will be added, with the proposed location for the butterfly bank. Please email if you are interested in being involved.
