Join The Big Butterfly Count 2026

Help shape the future of our environment this summer!

The Big Butterfly Count 2026 will be taking place from Friday 17th of July to Sunday 9th of August.

As butterfly numbers continue to decline, taking part in the count is more important than ever. This remarkable UK-wide survey gives you the chance to help gauge the pulse of nature and assess the health of our environment. Simply count the number and variety of butterflies (and some day-flying moths) that you spot.

The results will contribute to the national butterfly database – aiding conservation efforts and informing the policies that aim to protect these delicate and beautiful insects.
