| A blank canvas! |
Yesterday Horsham Green Gym were beginning work on a very exciting new project in Broadbridge Heath. Broadbridge Heath Parish Council have teamed up with David Bridges from the Warnham Butterfly Fields Project as well as Horsham Green Gym as they look to convert a 2-acre area of disused BMX jumps in to a haven for Butterflies in the future.
The site is on Byfleets Lane, opposite the cricket club; the project is linked to Warnham Butterfly Project on Tillets Lane – a mere wings flap away! The idea being that is will provide a stepping stone habitat for all things lepidopteran. As you can see from the photos above there is an incredible amount of work to go into the project yet but the plans look fantastic. You can see the full plan in the picture below which shows all the work that is yet to be carried out.

| The Details! |
On this task 23 regular Horsham Green Gym members along with 4 members of Broadbridge Heath Parish Council planted close to 400 hedging plants; laid what seems like miles of recycled bark chip path; and collected over a cubic metre of litter. This is an on-going project over the coming months and possibly years, so keep an eye out for future work parties and it will be well worth a visit in the summer months – hopefully you won’t be able to move for Brown Hairstreaks and Silver-washed Fritillary!
