Caravanners heading to Holgates Caravan Park in north Lancashire can check out its impressive population of rare butterflies.
According to the Westmorland Gazette, the site in Silverdale is creating a new habitat for the creatures, which it hopes will help them thrive in the area.
New ‘corridors’ of connecting woodlands will be created, giving moths and butterflies greater freedom to move around.
The project will continue over the next ten years, and it is hoped that increasing numbers of insects will populate the park over time.
“We have a very widely regarded and localised population of rare butterflies here,” said Mike Turner, general manager of Holgates Caravan Park.
“Our customers have reacted very well and it’s nice to be able to say that you have something very rare on your doorstep.”
The site will also be introducing a guided nature walk, enabling caravanners and members of the public to take a closer look at the butterflies.
