Britain’s woodlands, some dating back centuries, were once home to a profusion of butterflies.

Now many forest areas have become neglected and woodland butterfly numbers have tumbled.

The Pearl-bordered Fritillary is down by two-thirds over the past 30 years while the Duke of Burgundy is down by a half.

Britain’s biggest-ever butterfly conservation project aims to reverse these declines.

More money is needed to save butterflies and moths in the South East woodlands.

Three woodland landscapes will be used to demonstrate how correct woodland management can reverse wildlife declines. They are at Rother Woods near Rye in East Sussex, at Denge Woods near Canterbury in Kent, and at Tytherley Woods on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border.

Project Manager Dr Dan Hoare said: “We want to show woodland owners what can be achieved and how they can help butterflies and other wildlife on their land. We’ll be involving the public in a big way so that they will be able to press for good woodland management. They’ll be able to go on guided walks, and attend events and training workshops. We are really grateful to Heritage Lottery Fund, the Tubney Charitable Trust and all our other funders who are making this possible.”

Woodland throughout the United Kingdom will benefit from the best practice learnt from these demonstration areas to promote conservation of woodland butterflies and moths over the whole country. 

The South East Woodlands Project is being made possible by a £289,000 Heritage Lottery Fund grant and £200,000 from the Tubney Charitable Trust. Total expenditure from all sources on the three-year scheme, to be run by the Society will be close to £900,000.
