A summer butterfly walk in Bonny Wood – Saturday 23 July – 2pm

Suffolk Wildlife Trust, Woodbridge Wildlife group invite you to join them for a butterfly walk to the ancient Bonny Wood near Barking on Saturday 23 July at 2pm.

“We are meeting at Barking Tye Village Hall from where we will take the 15-20 minute walk along public footpaths to this delightful reserve “ said Phil Smith, Chairman of the SWT Woodbridge Wildlife Group. “Bonny Wood is part of Barking Tye Woods, a site of special scientific interest and, weather permitting, is a good place to spot a range of butterflies.  We’ll also be on the lookout for woodland flowers and birds.”

The walk starts from Barking Tye Village Hall car park, IP6 8HP (TM 076524).

Participants should bring binoculars and wear strong and waterproof footwear, as this reserve can be wet and muddy.
