Butterfly Conservation Lancashire Branch

butterfly conservation is a registered charity dedicated to the conservation of butterflies, moths and our environment. most british butterfly species remain in decline. we aim to halt and reverse these declines. our vision is of a world rich in butterflies for future generations to enjoy. we are also committed to the conservation of moths, which are close relatives of butterflies and are in rapid decline. butterflies are beautiful and intrinsically valuable. together with moths, their sensitivity to environmental change makes them valuable indicators of the health of the countryside. we employ over 50 people including many highly qualified scientists, making us the world's largest research institute for butterflies and moths. we have almost 15,000 members in the uk and 31 volunteer branches throughout the british isles. the lancashire branch covers the counties of lancashire, northern greater manchester and liverpool.
