There is a lot of interest in creating and maintaining wildflower meadows and roadside verges for insects, but not all of the new meadows cater for the life cycles of butterflies and moths. This video is a compilation of presentations delivered as part of Meadow Creation and Management best-practice workshops which were delivered in Irvine, Glasgow and Edinburgh as part of our Helping Hands for Butterflies Project.
