Exhibitions On Now At Marlborough Museum
Butterflies Returning on 19 Dec to 28 Feb 2010 Returning butterflies to their former numbers is one focus of the exhibition, through the simple, practical steps that gardeners, and landowners can take. The exhibition also explores: our butterfly biodiversity; how to recognise them; where they are to be found; features of their biology; and recent threats to their survival.
In the spring, there are at least 15 species of native butterflies to be found in our gardens, parks, and wild places. Like much of our wildlife their numbers have, by all accounts, dwindled - so much so that many people are unaware of the diversity or even existence of native species. Returning butterflies to their former numbers is one focus of the exhibition, through the simple, practical steps that gardeners and landowners can take. The exhibition also explores: our butterfly biodiversity; how to recognise them; where they are to be found; features of their biology; and recent threats to their survival.
