UKBMS Transect Surveyor (Friston Forest, Eastbourne)

Our Transect Walkers help us to understand butterflies in their local area and, by extension, across the UK. They inspire people to better understand the butterflies that they see.

At Butterfly Conservation, we want to create a world where butterflies and moths are enjoyed by everyone, forever. We need people to walk transects to collect data. This data is used to inform decisions which help to conserve butterflies, both locally and nationally.

You will be volunteering with a wide range of people helping us to monitor butterflies in your local environment.

We are seeking a butterfly Transect Surveyor to help on the weekly transect on The Gallops at Friston Forest, near Eastbourne in East Sussex. BN20 0AL, TV55599938

The Gallops are known for Chalk Hill Blue and Small Blue.

This project, headed up by Seaford Natural History Society has been recording since 2019. Data from the project informs the grassland management of The Gallops which has been fenced and cattle grazed for 3 years.

You will be undertaking weekly surveys paired up with another volunteer.
