JOIN THE BIG BUTTERFLY COUNT

Britain's butterflies are in crisis, and they need your help. The Big Butterfly Count 2025, running from 18th July to 10th August, offers everyone in Stoneleigh the chance to become a citizen scientist and make a real difference to conservation efforts.

Taking part could not be simpler - just spend 15 minutes in any sunny outdoor space, whether it's your garden, Nonsuch Park, or even the library's surroundings, and count the butterflies and day-flying moths you see. Download the free app or visit

to log your findings and contribute to a live map of UK biodiversity. Your observations help scientists identify where butterflies are thriving or struggling, informing crucial conservation decisions.
