🌼 Whether you’re on a walk, relaxing in the garden, or out on a GoodGym mission – take a break, look around, and count what you see!

🧡 Why This Matters:

Butterflies are brilliant indicators of biodiversity and environmental health. Your sightings help conservation scientists understand the impact of climate change, habitat loss, and more.

⸻

You can: • Set up a solo count before or after your run • Team up for a group count in a park

• Encourage friends, family, or neighbours to join in

Let’s put our GoodGym energy to work in nature – and learn something along the way.

Happy spotting! 🦋
