Save butterflies by shopping locally
For hundreds of years our countryside has been shaped by the way people farm the land and use wood products for fuel and building, and much of the wildlife we treasure today is the result of this legacy of land management.
Butterfly Conservation supports UK farmers, woodland managers and craftsmen in producing fantastic food, charcoal, firewood and other products through sustainable management of our countryside.
We don't endorse specific products but we encourage people to shop locally and buy food and fuel in a way that looks after our environment.
