Camberwell Butterfly Safari - Big Butterfly Count

Meeting point: In front of St. Giles Church, Camberwell Church St, London SE5 8RB

Ending point: SE5 Forum Market Stall at the Camberwell Green Saturday Market, SE5 7AF

Camberwell is full of wonderful green spaces and biodiverse pockets of nature. Thanks to our community’s care, we now have a growing network of gardens, planters, and micro-habitats that support pollinators, improve air quality, and bring colour to our streets.

Which location has the most butterflies? We’d love to find out together.

This will be a safari event: three local green spaces, spending 15 minutes counting butterflies in each one. Meet us at St. Giles Church at 10:30, where you’ll receive all the materials and information you need to take part.

To make the morning even sweeter, at the finish we’ll have cupcakes for all participants at the end, and everyone who joins the count will be entered into a prize draw to win a butterfly-themed T-shirt or mug.
