We are working closely with Butterfly Conservation Trust to ensure that the site is managed in the best way as a future haven for butterflies.īutterflies recorded at Hoe Grange Quarry: 1. Volunteers from Butterfly Conservation Trust have been walking a weekly transect at Hoe Grange for a few years and their results are fantastic, they have recorded a total of 24 different species of butterfly. The quarry is particularly of interest because of the number of diversity of butterflies which occur here. Among other things, the glow-worm larva lives off snails, which it.

There is even a disused dew pond which we hope to restore in time. The glow-worm lives in damp soil, for example in bogs, meadows and shadowy forest floors. Surrounding these is beautiful flower rich short limestone grassland whilst at the fringes of the quarry is taller grass and woodland. For a site of just short of 5 hectares it packs in a good mix of habitats.Īs you would expect there are still areas of bare ground which provide an ideal place for insects to sunbathe. The site has not been worked since the 1970s which means that nature has had plenty of time to develop. Then match fireflies to release them from the board.
