About the event

Brecon Wildlife Watch will be walking from Y Gaer Cultural Hub looking for butterflies and wildflowers in locations (to be confirmed) around Brecon.

The numbers of each species of butterfly we see will be added to the Big Butterfly Count, a national citizen science project  by Butterfly Conservation.

We will also look for and identify which wildflower species we find.  We will see which butterflies or other insects visit each species.

Please contact Pauline Hill p.hill@welshwildlife.org/ 07957 292235 to book a place.  Places limited.

Wildlife Watch is for children 7 to 12 years old who are mad about nature.  We request one adult to stay with their children. £2 fee towards group running costs and Hedgehog Awards.

Ensure your family members are suitably dressed for the weather forecast.  This could be anything from wellies and water proofs to sun hats and sunscreen at this time of year.
