Threatened Species Surveyor - Northern Brown Argus (Dumfries & Galloway)

As part of our Species on the Edge project in Dumfries and Galloway, we are looking for people to help survey for the Northern Brown Argus, a butterfly on our threatened species list. This data is used to inform decisions which help to conserve butterflies and moths, both locally and nationally.

Surveys for the butterfly can be conducted between late May and August each year. Full training on survey method and ongoing support is available.

Our conservation work depends on us knowing how butterfly and moth populations are doing, and we are lucky to have over forty years' worth of data collected by volunteers to help us in our mission to conserve butterflies and moths.

At Butterfly Conservation, we want to create a world where butterflies and moths are enjoyed by everyone, forever.
