Last week, our Engagement team got stuck in planting native butterfly and moth-friendly plants for residents to enjoy as part of our Leeds Wild Spaces project.
Huge thanks to Friends of Hunslet Moor and Leeds Parks and Countryside Service for having us!
Latest addition to our #wildspaces #pollinators garden, beeswax treated and put up today.

Painted Lady butterfly nectaring on apple blossom. Text reads: 'Apple. Apple trees are eaten by more than 50 types of caterpillar, and their beautiful blossoms (which appear in April or May) are an important nectar source for butterflies.'
Canary-shouldered Thorn moth resting on a yellow birch leaf. Text overlay reads: 'Birch. The caterpillars of a whopping 150 different moths and butterflies feed on birch trees, including those of the Canary-shouldered Thorn.'
Speckled Wood butterfly feeding on hawthorn blossom. Text overlay reads: 'Hawthorn. This native shrub feeds 74 different types of caterpillar, and its flowers, which appear in May, are a good source of nectar for butterflies.'
Common Quaker moth on a willow catkin. Text overlay reads: 'Willow. As many as 130 different types of caterpillar feed on Willow, including the Puss Moth. The catkins are rich in nectar, providing food early in the year when other flowers are scarce.'
The right trees in the right place can do wonders for butterflies and moths! 🌳

Join us next week as we discuss the fascinating book Is a River Alive? by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social. How did a river in India get erased? How do cloud forests carry rivers in the earth, land and sky? What does it mean to be enrivered?

A conversation between Robin Wall Kimmerer and Björk inspired me to write this blog post. "If we want to address the climate emergency long-term, a foundational first step is for teachers and students to learn to live in a place as if it matters."
