Have you noticed fewer butterflies and moths this year? The cool, wet spring and extreme weather due to climate change have contributed to their decline. While we can't control the weather, we can help these important pollinators by creating more meadows, mowing less and planting food sources and places for them to lay eggs.
If you can spare 15 minutes before Sunday 4 August, join our nationwide citizen science survey to help assess the health of our environment. Just follow these 3 easy steps. It's a great activity for kids during the summer holidays.

Your participation will help gather data to identify trends and areas in the UK that need attention.
We’re facing a climate emergency and the State of Nature Report 2023 shows wildlife in England is rapidly declining. As one of the largest housing providers in the UK (and a major landowner), we recognise our role in reversing this decline with our Biodiversity Pathway to 2030.
In our Environmental Survey, residents asked for support to protect biodiversity, including advice on supporting nature, reducing chemical use and planting wildflowers. Our Action Plan includes promoting this campaign, exploring sustainable weed control and creating more meadows and plantings to support butterflies and other insects in need.
We must all take responsibility for our local wildlife. Get the whole family involved and have fun while helping our winged friends.
