Constructing butterfly hibernation sites at The Woolpack pub, Ipswich
In an exciting initiative aimed at encouraging more butterflies in gardens and contributing to 'Wilder Suffolk', a butterfly hibernacula building event is set to take place in Ipswich. The event, which is suitable for families and adults, will see participants building their own butterfly hibernacula using locally sourced, sustainable wood from Bridge Wood, part of Orwell Country Park.
The wood being used for the event is being removed to make way for native species replanting, ensuring that the materials are both environmentally friendly and locally sourced. The event is supported by The Woolpack Pub, offering attendees the opportunity to enjoy a cold drink after the event, although drinks and food are not included in the ticket price.
The exact date and meeting point for the event have yet to be announced, but parking information can be obtained by contacting Ipswich.engagement@our website or 07827 252135. It is important to note that, as the event will be held outside, attendees should dress for the weather.
Each ticket allows for the building of one butterfly hibernacula, and the event terms and conditions can be found at www.our website/eventinfo.

Attendees of the butterfly hibernacula building event in Ipswich can look forward to learning about sustainable living, as the wood used for the project is locally sourced from Bridge Wood, promoting a home-and-garden lifestyle that benefits the environment. In addition, by building a butterfly hibernacula, participants contribute to the 'Wilder Suffolk' initiative, aiming to encourage more butterflies in gardens and support local wildlife.
