As part of the community work that's taking place alongside Eden Project Morecambe, the Lancaster district intends to pledge its support to become a butterfly-friendly city, in partnership with national charity Butterfly Conservation.

Our aim is to enhance and monitor habitats for butterflies, moths, and pollinators across the Lancaster district. We will support local communities to develop new wild spaces and improve existing ones, along with recording and tracking species to inform conservation efforts and measure progress.

By offering training and facilitating volunteer action, we will promote well-being and enable people to take meaningful steps to increase biodiversity.

Partners involved in the project include: Butterfly Conservation, Eden Project Morecambe, Lancaster City Council, Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape, Lancaster District Community & Voluntary Solutions (LDCVS), Lancaster District Greenspaces, Lancaster University, the NHS, and our Friends of Parks and Open Spaces.
