UKBMS Transect Surveyor (Trent Country Park, Enfield)

Our Transect Walkers help us to understand butterflies in their local area and, by extension, across the UK. They inspire people to better understand the butterflies that they see.

Trent Country Park comprises 413-acres of varied woodlands, lakes, meadows and other habitats and a heritage landscape. Likely species to be encountered include Common Blue, Small Copper and meadow species such as Meadow Brown and Ringlet. Butterfly transect recording in London Borough of Enfield is limited and we are keen to re-establish regular recording to monitor how butterflies respond to the habitat improvement.

Please refer to the UKBMS website for mroe information about what is involved in carrying out a butterfly transect - https://ukbms.org/get-involved

For any queries about getting involved with this transect please contact the regional Transect Coordintaor, Paul Busby via paul.busby@butterfly-conservation.goassemble.com.

At Butterfly Conservation, we want to create a world where butterflies and moths are enjoyed by everyone, forever. We need people to walk transects to collect data. This data is used to inform decisions which help to conserve butterflies, both locally and nationally.

You will be volunteering with a wide range of people helping us to monitor butterflies in your local environment.
