Up until the Millennium this area of the woods was called the Top meadow or glade.
Because of a number of sightings of various species of butterfly in this area, the FOSW in conjunction with the Woodland Trust decided to sow a selection of wildflower seed to attract more wildlife into the glade.
Following a wildlife and bird survey carried out during 2001/02 along with discussions with the Butterfly Park team at New Ferry, the term Butterfly Glade came into existence.

This is a message to all members of the Friends of Storeton Woods.
Due to a change in personal circumstances of a long-standing Committee member who is no longer able to produce our Newsleaf magazine, we have been unable to send out this year’s issues. We apologise to our members for this and are making plans to reinstate production and distribution of the magazine as soon as possible.
