WORK is underway on an ambitious multi-million project to build a huge dome filled with free-flying butterflies in Chiswell Green.

After several years of searching for cash, the Butterfly World Trust has enough funds to embark on the first of three phases.

The trust hopes the dome, which will be the largest in the world, will become one of Britain's top tourist attractions.

Before an official launch on March 14, the trust is remaining tight-lipped about its sources of cash and the nature of the first phase, which should be complete by summer 2009.

The site is in Chiswell Green Lane, next to the gardens of the National Rose Society which sold land to the butterfly project's backers.
