New Ferry Butterfly Park Is Flying The Flag

Our reserve, New Ferry Butterfly Park, has been recognised by the Green Flag Award Scheme as one of the very best in the world. 

The Park is among a record-breaking 1,797 UK parks and green spaces that have received a prestigious Green Flag Award – the mark of a quality park or green space.

This international award, now into its third decade, is a sign to the public that the space boasts the highest possible environmental standards.

Paul Loughnane, Secretary, said: “We are absolutely delighted to again receive a Green Flag Award. We know how much quality green spaces matter to residents and visitors, and this award celebrates the dedication of our volunteers who maintain New Ferry Butterfly Park to such a high standard’’. International Green Flag Award scheme manager Paul Todd said: “We are delighted to be celebrating another record-breaking year for the Green Flag Award scheme. Each flag is a celebration of the thousands of staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to maintain the high standards demanded by the Green Flag Award. The success of the scheme, especially in these challenging times, demonstrates just how much parks matter to people.”

The Green Flag was raised on Sunday August 13th by Mary Worrall, Senior Manager, Parks and Countryside, Wirral Borough Council.

Afterwards everyone enjoyed the barbecue.
