October 2020 - end of year report from Lucy.
The Munching Caterpillars project had busy spring and summer terms planned with lots of school visits booked in the diary, so it was with great sadness I needed to cancel them due to the Covid restrictions. I have really missed meeting the pupils in Bristol Primary Schools, but it doesn’t mean they have missed out on learning about our wonderful butterflies, moths and their caterpillars.
I have been busy sharing some fantastic online resources including a film based on our usual workshops to over 400 schools in Bristol and Somerset.
In addition to the film, we have some great resources and activities on the Butterfly Conservation website which I have been promoting to youth and community groups, scouts, and parks groups across the region. I hope the children and their families will enjoy making kites and planting wildflower areas to help our insects.
We hope to start running workshops again next year and already have multiple schools interested. If you would like us to visit your school in the Bristol area, please send an email to @email and I will keep you updated.
