Barry is returning to normal... events are back! Take a look at what's going on in the town in our recently revamped What's On section.

To keep you up to date with everything that is going on, we've decided to post a regular 'Event of the Week' article with details of an activity occurring in the local area.

This week, we chose Barry's Big Butterfly Count .

Here's how they described it on our site:

Barry Action for Nature need volunteers to take part in the Big Butterfly Count. They are hoping to cover all the parks and green open spaces throughout Barry.

Butterflies are an indicator species and as such this citizen science can supply both conservationists and decision makers with warnings about the health of our environment.

Volunteers are asked to meet adjacent the entrance of Barry Cemetery off Barry Road at 10:30am.

Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather and bring a hat and sun protection. Water and a snack would also be sensible.

They are also asked to bring any butterfly guides they may have. The surveys should not take more than 90 minutes altogether.
