Directions Website Contact the organisation

Butterfly Conservation, Glasgow & South West Scotland Branch was founded 19th January 1985. Our mission - saving butterflies, moths and our environment.

Butterflies and moths are a beautiful and crucial part of our natural heritage but many are suffering devastating declines. Britain is losing its butterflies - there are 58 species of butterfly in the UK (35 species in Scotland) and over 2,500 types of moth (about 900 species in Scotland) but their survival is being threatened. Three quarters of butterfly species are in decline. Four of our butterflies and over 60 moths became extinct last century. Butterfly Conservation is the UK based charity taking action to stop these declines and ensure these beautiful insects are around for future generations to enjoy. A major part of our work is the management of whole landscapes for butterflies and moths. Thankfully our efforts are paying off with some of our rarest species recovering after decades of decline. Our work depends on the efforts of thousands of volunteers who help in many ways including surveying for species, organising over 700 educational events UK wide every year and monitoring butterflies and moths.

We were very saddened to hear of the untimely passing of Richard Baines, the curator of Logan Gardens in the Rhins of Galloway https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqkgl8rlmvn2o
He kindly invited us to do some moth trapping in Logan Gardens over the years. Such an enthusiastic & likeable person who will be sadly missed by all lucky enough to know him.

Richard Baines was the long-serving curator of Logan Botanic Garden near Stranraer.
