🦋 ✨ The Big Butterfly Count starts TODAY! ✨ 🦋

After last year's success, we’re heading out again to count our local butterflies and we need your help! It’s a gentle, hour-long stroll with friendly company, perfect for all ages.

Butterflies are vital pollinators and a "health check" for our environment. Last year we spotted everything from Holly Blues to Small Coppers. What will we find this year?

🌿 Tuesdays at 1:30 PM (Chapel Fields, Millbridge Brook Meadows & Lower Field) 📍 Meet: Eco Hub entrance 🗓️ Dates: 7th July, 21st July, 28th July, 4th August

🌳 Thursdays at 1:30 PM (The Log Field) 📍 Meet: Log Field entrance (off Green Acres, 2nd left from Heath Road) 🗓️ Dates: 9th July, 23rd July, 30th July, 6th August

Come for one session or all of them! We'll also show you how to use the recording app to count in your own garden.

Have you ever wondered how we can make our village a bit more self-reliant, save some money on bills, and bring everyone closer together?

We’ve been looking at the brilliant learnings from the "Green and Healthy Frome" project. For 5 years, they brought neighbours together to tackle the cost of living and look after the environment at the same time.

The best part? Their best ideas are completely free, perfectly sized for a village like ours, and focus on practical "small wins."

Read all about it:

Green and Healthy Frome – Improving Heath & Wellbeing in our community Green and Healthy Frome inspires change by linking health and sustainability with practical support, free events, and empowering community projects.
