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.
