Welcome to the South Wales Branch of Butterfly Conservation

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

Welcome to the website for the South Wales Branch of Butterfly Conservation, the UK charity concerned with saving butterflies, moths and their habitats. We run guided walks, workshops, lectures and moth-trapping right across South Wales - see Events on the menu on the left for the current list.

We publish a Branch newsletter for members two or three times a year - see our Newsletter page which includes details of newsletters from other moth and butterfly groups in the area. We also record butterflies and moths - see Recording, advise landowners and are one of the wildlife organisations that advise local County Councils on Local Biodiversity Action Plans (LBAPs)-see our Species pages for more information.

If you would like to join our branch and receive all these services and more while supporting our work please go to the Membership page on Butterfly Conservation's main web site.

If you'd like to tell us what you do or don't like about this website, mistakes you've found, or to contribute or ask for some different information please Contact Us

Please note that the date of the Branch AGM and Members' Day is Saturday 16th October 2010. It was incorrectly listed as Saturday 24th October 2010 (which does not exist) in the latest Branch Newsletter. To save us the cost of contacting you to alert you to this correction, we would be grateful if Branch members would acknowledge they have noted this correction by emailing newsweb@southwales-butterflies.org.uk
