Ernest X Wild Ouseburn | Rewilding with butterflies….. and maybe mammoths
20th May 2025 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Hear about Ouseburn’s wild side
Join local butterfly + pond legend Mike Jeffries, for a 45 minute talk exploring the butterflies of the Ouseburn, the idea of rewilding and the power of the feral. In his own words…
The Ouseburn has always been a bit feral, beating with a wild heart that has nurtured so many of the great venues and creativity here.
Find out more about the wild butterflies that can be found down in the Ouseburn and what these beauties can tell us about the ecology of the valley we love.
Plus… what is exactly is rewilding, why does it cause so many arguments and what could the valley be like?
Butterflies and beavers, Romantic poets and the Rabble Alliance, Meadow Browns and the missing lynx: they are all in the mix.
Hosted at Ernest, thanks to the support of the Ernest team. Explore other free events to discover more about our urban wildlife at Wild Ouseburn.
