Welcome to the Sussex Branch of Butterfly Conservation

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

This website only began life in 2006, and we are delighted how quickly the site has come together. The site was viewed almost 35,000 times in 2007, and surfers logged 94,000 page views.

NEW: As of 4 April 2008, we have brilliantly redesigned galleries of Sussex moths - over 1000 photos of over 500 species - with full searchability. Click here, or access via the Sussex species link in the left-hand menu.

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, 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 quarterly newsletter.

We are also delighted to host the webpages for the Sussex Moth Group, an independent group with whom we share close links.

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.
