Butterfly Conservation Learn WebsitePeter Eeles  Click on the image to enlarge I was delighted to receive an invitation to the Butterfly Conservation open day on 6th September 2008, held at Butterfly Conservation's HQ in Lulworth, where Jim Knight MP, and Schools Minister, officially launched the "Learn" section of the BC website. This aspect of the website is an extremely valuable resource for both teachers and children, is linked to the National Curriculum, and contains a number of educationally-oriented games. Just click on the Learn tab on the BC website to see more. On a personal note, it's been a pleasure to have played a small part in this initiative that tackles an area that is close to my heart - namely fostering an interest in the next generation of Lepidopterists! Some photos from the open day are below. Click on an image to enlarge it.
