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.
Cornwall Butterfly Conservation Butterfly AuditCBC announced at their AGM that they propose a butterfly audit covering a period of up to 10 years. We believe significant declines may have occurred since the publication of 'A Cornwall Butterfly Atlas'. Therefore if anyone would like to volunteer to do a timed count or target a specific species to survey for the audit, please use the file on our CBC Yahoo! Groups website that has been uploaded at http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/cornwall-butterfly-conservation/. To download the file you will have to join the Yahoo! Groups which is free. Easy instructions to join can be found on the website. The file for download is found under the heading ‘Files’ on the left hand pane. There will be more information in our next CBC newsletter and on the CBC Yahoo! Groups website when more information becomes available.
