Tracking the Impact – results from our butterfly surveys
All of the records for the survey squares have been entered onto our online interactive maps, so you can see for yourself what birds, butterfly and plants have been recorded and where. The following map shows all the results for our butterfly surveys, which are fed into the United Kingdom Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (UKBMS).
Since 2020:
- 47/72 1km squares have been surveyed for butterflies
- 33 butterfly species have been recorded
- 5,002 records have been submitted
