Welcome to the Lancashire Branch of Butterfly Conservation

Butterfly Conservation is a registered charity dedicated
to the conservation of butterflies and moths.

The Lancashire Branch covers the counties of Lancashire, Northern Greater Manchester and Liverpool.

Within our area we have a great variety of moths and butterflies - including a number of National rarities.

Details of forthcoming events and field trips are listed, as are the contents of the Branch Library.

We also hope to build up a pictorial journal of the highlights from our trips and to publish details of good sites for finding both moths and butterflies.

Please come back from time to time to keep abreast of the latest news form the Branch.

	Help us unlock landfill funds to save threatened butterflies and moths.
	The Landfill Communities Fund has agreed to give Butterfly Conservation £10 for every £1 we can raise.

The 2008 Recording Report will be published by the end of May - this is normally sent free of charge to everyone who has submitted records during 2008. For the first time the Report will also be available as a PDF file. Any recorder who is willing to forego a printed copy is asked to contact Laura Sivell as soon as possible - this would save the Branch money which could then be used to support other projects.
