About the event
Two years ago, the marsh fritillary butterfly (once extinct in Cumbria) colonised Eycott Hill Nature Reserve, now we are looking to get an idea as to their population size.
Anyone is welcome to come and help us count the larval webs of the marsh fritillary caterpillar and spend a day out in the uplands.
Cost: Free
Organiser: Cumbria Wildlife Trust
Where: Eycott Hill Nature Reserve
