Welcome to Cornwall Butterfly Conservation

Welcome to the official website of the Cornwall branch of Butterfly Conservation dedicated to saving wild butterflies, moths and their habitats.

Cornwall Butterfly Conservation is working to establish the present status of butterflies in Cornwall so we can tell which species are increasing or in decline.

We hope that this visit will further your knowledge of the 40 or so butterfly species that enhance our beautiful county of Cornwall.

Conservation Days 2010

For all those who can make it and are reasonably fit and well, outlined below are BTCV’s (British Trust for Conservation Volunteers) Conservation Days for February and March. We would be glad of some help with particular emphasis on the days at De Lank/De Lank Quarry and at Goss Moor – two important butterfly conservation sites.
