Small Pearl-Bordered Fritillary Butterfly

This year marks a significant milestone for conservation across the Shropshire Hills.

The Shropshire Hills Landscape Trust celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026 — a decade of channelling community support into practical, ground-level conservation work right across the National Landscape.

Find out more about the Trust and their investment in the Small Pearl-Bordered Fritillary Butterfly.

Illustrated talk by Rob Rowe & Charlie Bell.

Volunteers have been improving the condition of wet flush habitat to benefit the Small Pearl-Bordered Fritillary Butterfly (SPBF). Marsh violet (SPBF larval foodplant) were propagated from cuttings and planted at sites around the Stiperstones where it is in short supply.

The talk is free to attend. We ask for a £5.00 donation which will cover hall hire and refreshments, with all additional contributions going to our 10th Anniversary Conservation Fund.

Every pound helps us say 'yes' to more community projects protecting the Shropshire Hills.
