Help us name the Dinton Pastures willow caterpillar

Meet Willowby, our living willow caterpillar.

Thank you to everyone who helped name the living willow caterpillar at Dinton Pastures Country Park, near Hurst and Woodley.

We received 517 name suggestions before our Countryside Rangers and volunteers whittled this down to a shortlist of 10. A further 441 people voted for their three favourite names.

Several people originally suggested Willowby, so one winner was selected at random from those entries. Congratulations to Ben McLachlan, who wins:

• A family visit to Dinton Pastures
• A photo with Willowby
• A unique handmade willow tree, grown from the caterpillar cuttings
• A family boat hire session at Dinton Activity Centre for up to five people
• The opportunity to meet our Rangers and learn more about Willowby

Thank you to everyone who suggested a name or took part in the public vote.
