Conserving the Countryside

Our projects increasingly focus on the whole landscape. Instead of preserving isolated pockets in the form of reserves, we aim to restore much larger areas of land.

Landscape scale projects allow butterflies to respond changes in the climate and environment. If one area becomes unsuitable, they can safely colonise a new area without having to fly over vast areas in search of suitable habitat.

With the widespread loss of wildlife habitats it is vital that remaining areas are suitably managed for butterflies and moths. Our local staff work closely with farmers and landowners to ensure appropriate habitat management.

We have many dedicated volunteers who contribute hugely to these projects, working tirelessly to maintain habitats for threatened species.

Our holistic approach works to meet the needs of other wildlife and encourages the proper functioning of the whole ecosystem.
