Welcome to the Sussex Branch of Butterfly Conservation

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

This website began life in 2006, and now attracts 100s of visitors each day. Use the left-hand menu to:

• visit our Sightings page, updated daily;
• our Events page gives details of a wide range of events organized by the branch taking place throughout the summer;
• check out the searchable photo galleries of all of Sussex's butterflies and over 500 moths in the Sussex Species section;
• and find out where to go on our Sussex Sites section.

The Sussex branch holds regular outdoor events across the county, plus an indoor AGM and a Spring Social. It manages the Butterfly Conservation reserve at Park Corner Heath where there are work parties, it advises landowners across the county how to conserve and protect butterflies and moths, and it collects and compiles records of butterflies in Sussex. By being a member of Butterfly Conservation nationally you automatically become a member of the Sussex branch and receive our annual Sussex Butterfly Report and Sussex Branch Newsletter.

We share close links with the Sussex Moth Group, an independent group dedicated to the promotion of the study of moths in Sussex.

Sussex is a fantastic county for butterflies and moths - we hope that this website helps you find out more about them, and that you are inspired to help protect and save them too.
