These meetings provide a great opportunity to hear about progress with the Butterflies for the New Millennium (BNM) recording scheme, the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (UKBMS) and find out the latest developments in butterfly research and conservation. 

The meeting is open to anyone interested in butterflies from beginners to experienced amateurs and professionals. There will be a meeting for County Butterfly Recorders and Verification Assistants after the main meeting.  

When and where?

The 2025 meeting will be held via virtually via Zoom on Saturday 29 March 2025 from 10am to 1pm. 

There will be the usual update on the Butterflies for the New Millennium (BNM) recording scheme and the official 2024 butterfly population trends from the UKBMS network will be revealed. In addition to this there are two or three talks by guest speakers.

The programme for the day is being drawn up and will be shared here soon!
