South Shropshire MP Philip Dunne and TV presenter Anthea Turner this week joined forces to raise awareness of the Wood White butterfly, with the launch of a new Wood White beer in the House of Commons.
The Wood White beer has been produced by South Shropshire brewery Wood’s to support the butterfly, with £10 from every cask sold going back into preservation efforts for the species, which has declined by 88% in the UK since the 1970s. Studies show only around 50 colonies of Wood Whites remain in England and the species is at risk of extinction.
