Please support Butterfly Conservation with a donation to one of our appeals listed below....
Save the Chequered Skipper
Within living memory this butterfly was a common sight in English woodlands in the East Midlands and could even be found as far afield as Hampshire and Devon. After a sudden period of rapid decline, the species was sadly declared extinct in England in 1976.
In Scotland, this small, fast-flying butterfly survives, but can only be found within a 30 mile radius of Fort William.
Butterfly Conservation is providing Scottish landowners with advice on how to manage woodlands to help save the Chequered Skipper.
We desperately need to raise £30,000 to ensure the right habitat is provided to secure the future for this threatened species.
Please help us save the Chequered Skipper by donating today
Please consider making a regular donation by direct debit. If you would prefer to send a cheque, then print and complete this donation form and post it back to us.
Other projects in need of your support:
The Large Blue butterfly became extinct in Britain in 1979. Its reintroduction has been one of the most sucessful conservation programmes in the world. To secure the future for this species we need your help.
For every £1 you give we get £10 to save threatened species like the Duke of Burgundy butterfly.
Putting Butterflies on the Map
We cannot conserve butterflies and moths unless we know where they live. Please support the work we do to record and map the distribution and abundance of butterflies and moths.
