Our 2025 Tea & Talk is being held at Storrington Village Hall at 2:00pm on Saturday 22nd February. Considering the shocking year Butterflies had in 2024, it is appropriate our guest speaker is Neil Hulme. He is a well-known butterfly enthusiast and conservationist. He works with a wide range of bodies to improve our woods, meadows and Downs for the benefit of butterflies and other wildlife.
His work with the charity Butterfly Conservation, to reverse the declines of species such as the Duke of Burgundy and Pearl-bordered Fritillary, was recognised with the award of a British Empire Medal in 2017. His trousers and boots are renowned for their ability to attract Purple Emperors down from the treetops – lets hope he is wearing them for our talk.
