Big Butterfly Count at Killerton

Take part in Butterfly Conservation's Big Butterfly Count at Killerton

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

We’re taking part in this year’s Big Butterfly Count for Butterfly Conservation… Are you? Between 18th July and 10th August, we want you to help us save butterflies and moths by taking 15 minutes to stop and count the butterflies in your area or on the Killerton Estate. Whether it’s in the middle of Ashclyst Forest or the view from your window, we want to build a better understanding of our local wildlife, but we can’t do this without your help. Scan the QR code featured on our social media pages or go to https://arcg.is/nf8DH to complete the survey and collect your free thank you drink from the café. All data collected will be submitted to Save Butterflies and used to inform future conservation efforts at Killerton.
