Beautiful Butterflies of Lullymore West

Join the IPCC for a free butterfly walk on Lullymore West Nature Reserve. Lullymore West Nature Reserve is an example of a cutaway bog that has regenerated into a refuge for biodiversity, especially butterflies. 21 different species of butterfly are found on Lullymore West Bog, out of a total Irish species list of 31 including the protected species the Marsh Fritillary butterfly. Meet at the Bog of Allen Nature Centre at 11am and join IPCC staff for a walk to Lullymore West where we will share information of the reserve and the butterflies who live there. You will also get to give butterfly identification a go with IPCCs Bonding with Butterflies identification leaflet. Please wear clothes appropriate for the outdoors. Light refreshments will be available following the walk and talk. No booking required.
