Volunteer for Butterflies


Did you know that Butterfly Conservation have 32 regional branches around the UK? 

They all have willing volunteers ready to help the tiny butterfly, by undertaking any number of tasks such as:

- leading butterfly walks, moth events and countless conservation days,
- getting involved with publicity,
- helping with membership recruitment
- fundraising

There are also working parties, who participate in physical activities such as bashing scrub, planting trees or re-building stone walls on nature reserves.  The work is essential to help restore or maintain habitats for butterflies and moths. 

Yet more volunteers help track butterfly and moth populations, helping Butterfly Conservation with their survey work.  And training is available to help you report on these tiny creatures.

Finally 4 regional offices need help with admin and tasks such as  volunteers help database input, making up reports, cataloguing of materials, preparing mailings, and photocopying.  Find out more here. 

However much you know about butterflies, there will be something you can do, so visit Butterfly Conservation and get in a flutter to find ways to help make a difference.  As well as volunteering, the charity needs people to help in all sorts of ways such as giving donations, helping butterflies in your garden, helping children learn more about butterflies and becoming a member of the charity.   And if you're looking for a gift for a butterfly lover, buy a gift from Butterfly Conservation's online shop.
