 Cows are once again doing their bit for rare butterflies in a peaceful corner of South Lakeland.
Cumbria Wildlife Trust’s Barkbooth Lot Nature Reserve is one of only a handful of sites away from the Morecambe Bay limestones were the scarce high brown fritillary butterfly breeds. Once widespread across England, Cumbria is one of the last remaining strongholds for this species that has become extinct from 94% of its former range in the last 50 years. Cumbria Wildlife Trust manages the site to provide perfect conditions for this large, showy, orange and black butterfly. By grazing the site in autumn and winter the cows create ideal conditions that the butterflies love.
