Web site update for Warwickshire Branch
March 2009

As part of my role on the committee of the Warwickshire Branch of Butterfly Conservation, I have recently completed a redesign and update for their web site.

Following the initial launch and sucess of the first incarnation of the branch web site, it quickly became apparent in 2008 that the site needed a good overhaul.

For approximately 4 months, I spent many an evening working on the site before its launch in February 2009.

Why not check out the new site at:

New Butterfly Garden for Whipsnade Zoo
February 2009

Whipsnade Zoo (part of The Zoological Society of London) is constructing a new butterfly garden for 2009 in association with the Bedfordshire Branch of Butterfly Conservation. British Butterflies supplied the photographs of the Orange-tip and Peacock on their new sign shown below.

During the 1980’s Greg Herbert of Butterfly Conservation Bedfordshire developed the first butterfly garden at Whipsnade Zoo. In 2000, Mike Rudd a horticulturist, continued to maintain he garden until 2003 when Emily Funnell (a former Butterfly Conservation officer in the south-east region) started work at Whipsnade as species conservation officer. During Emily's time, the garden received more attention until her departure in 2006.

David Hicks, the new head of Horticulture at Whipsnade alongside Stuart Pittman from the Bedfordshire branch of Butterfly Conservation have re-invigorated the Whipsnade Zoo Butterfly Garden Project.
