Welcome to Butterfly Conservation's nature reserves and recommended sites for butterflies and moths.

Butterfly Conservation currently has over 30 Nature Reserves - all havens for butterflies, moths and other wildlife. Volunteers in our Branches manage most of our reserves and everyone is welcome to join in with the events and work parties on these interesting sites.

Most of our reserves are open to visitors at all times, many are designated Open Countryside or have Public Rights of Way. For those reserves with visiting arrangements limited for safety or conservation reasons, see individual site details.
